Yamaha NP-12

Advantages: High-quality piano, has all the necessary functions, the sound is excellent, volume control to the maximum is absolutely acceptable in the conditions of the apartment

Advantages: - design, white is just great
- compactness, ease and mobility
- Sustain !! 1!
- sensitivity to force of pressing
- modern output for connecting to a PC
- Yamaha quality

Disadvantages: - lack of a weighted keyboard with all the consequences

Comment: Here I assume that:
- you are watching this model, because you consciously abandoned the full-size keyboard (therefore, we don’t record the absence of a pair of octaves);
- you just need a piano, and not a synthesizer (therefore, we do not write a lack of sensitivity to the force of pressing in some modes, but in general we do not evaluate these modes).

In general, I like the tool and am satisfied with the purchase. There are very pleasant sensations from playing on it, and he himself gives the impression of a premium “piano without a weighted keyboard” in the class. However, the clave is much more resilient than on cheap synthesizers, if only from the same Yamaha. With a developed imagination, it even seems that you play on weighted keys. Until you feel the rebound :)

Summarizing, I can say that the instrument is suitable only for a non-professional, who once had already put his hand on a normal piano, and now decided to resume the lessons of a dho pho fan, while there is no place to put a full-sized instrument.
If you are going to study or already know how and are going to play seriously, do not press, throw on another 10k and take the Yamaha P-45 (it is not much bigger in size).
If you just need a toy with keys, or you are a pro, and you need a second instrument to carry it with you, take yourself a better synthesizer, seriously.
