With 76 keys and a range of features including built-in speakers, chorus, modulation wheel, metronome, USB compatibility, battery power, and built-in effects, this keyboard is a VERSATILE and powerful tool for any musician. It has terrific features for accompanying The gray color and sleek design make it a perfect addition to any stage or studio setup. I used it for in-house recording sessions (wasn't used in concert, hence it's GREAT condition). At 46 inches in length and 6 inches in height, this large keyboard provides plenty of space to play comfortably. The action is smooth and responsive, making it easy to play even complex pieces. Whether you're looking for a keyboard for live performances or recording sessions, this Yamaha DGX-205 is a great choice. NOTE : you can run this keyboard on a 12V DC cord or six 1.5V batteries (ones in it are new, just bought them a week ago). The 12V DC cord is NOT included (but you can buy one for 5-10 USD elsewhere). The keyboard has a built-in speak which works just great and is pretty loud but it will SHINE once you plug it into a good amp. Undecided? Look up the reviews on thie keyboard elsewhere, e.g.: I bought this keyboard during the winter of 2006. I had compared literally 50+ different keyboards but ultimately decided on this one. The price was great and the features were very good. My keyboard arrived a few days later and I was astonished when I hooked it up at how good the sound quality was. I have owned a Casio keyboard for some time, and after playing this I can definitely hear a MASSIVE difference in sound quality. The Casio keyboard (and most Casios I've used) sound too digital-like and not realistic. If you don't think so, play this keyboard aside your Casio and you'll be surprised. I instantly got hooked on this thing from the minute I used it. The keys can be put in touch-sensitive mode OR turned to normal mode, where they are not touch-sensitive and are all one volume. This is done simply by pressing the 'Touch' button on the keyboard. The keyboard also has over 400 different sounds, many of which sound absolutely incredible when mixed together. About that-- this keyboard can be put in dual mode where you can play two different notes at once. For example, you can be playing a Grand Piano voice along with a strings voice at the same time. Alternatively, you can play either a single voice at a time or do a split keyboard, where the left half of the keys are one voice and the right are another. If you buy this keyboard I *HIGHLY* recommend getting a sustain pedal. Sustain pedals are what carry sounds out so all you have to do is press a key once and the sound will last much longer. Also, if you don't have commercial-style headphones (with the thick jack plug thing) then buy an adapter. If you use normal earbud headphones you won't be able to plug them into this keyboard, as the jack will be too big. You'll need to look up "small to big headphone adapter" on Amazon/Google and find one you like. Buy this keyboard.. You won't regret it. I've had people who own Rolands tell me this sounds better than their $1,200 machines. Score! -- https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-DGX-205-Portable-Keyboard-Sequencer/product-reviews/B0002KSQQ8
