NOTE: This product comes with a Yahama bench (non-adjustable), even though the product page didn't say anything about a bench.I bought this for my fiancee who used to play the piano at a high level, but gave it up in favor of college, grad school, etc. over the last 10 years or so. I used to play for a couple of years when I was very young, but never had much interest in continuing until now.
This piano is really top quality in every way. The box and packaging from Yamaha was packed with incredible care and attention to detail. No matter how small or large the part, it was packed such that it would be virtually impossible to damage during shipping.
Most of the voices sound great on the YDP-181. You can actually blend two voices at the same time, which can lead to some fun and great sounding effects. I think the best example I found was playing the theme to Phantom of the Opera with Grand Piano 1 + Church Organ 2 or something, it sounds incredible!
Some of the reverb and after-effects sound a bit corny, but you can turn them off completely.
I haven't yet found a decent pianist yet who didn't approve of the YDP-181. The feel of the keys is immaculate, and with the adjustable touch sensitivity, I think the keys work well for anyone.
The keys and pedals have an extremely solid feel to them everything about this product exudes quality.
The best part of it is that I, as a beginner, and my fiancee, who is quite good, can both practice and play without disturbing each other or the neighbors (when using headphones). It supports 2 sets of headphones and you can listen to headphones while the speakers are on as well.
The 50 built in songs (+ sheet music book) offer a wide variety of difficulties from easy to ridiculously difficult you can have the piano play them back to you (choose right hand only, left hand only, or both hands) and you can adjust the tempo of the playback. Thus you could play along with the right hand while the piano plays the left hand, and adjust the speed to your liking. There are also "demo" built-in songs for each of the voices, for which sheet music is not included. And the Owner's manual only lists out the titles of a few of them, unfortunately.
This product is better than a real piano in almost every way. I'm glad to be learning piano again after many years...
