Customer Feedback-
"You will come to find that not all weighted-key synthesizers feel the same. Not all pianos feel the same either. But when it comes to simulating that essential piano feel, Yamaha has certainly hit upon something certainly worthy of attention in the S90. This keyboard is nothing short of a pleasure to play." - Actual User Review - Epinions.com "The Yamaha s90xs is a beast. I've owned many keyboards in my 35 years and this is the top of the line product for both performing and studio work." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com "Don't actually play a lot of synth but the action is what sold me on it. It's the most piano-like feeling keyboard I found. I do a lot of chording and it's awesome for that. It's extremely easy to use." - Actual User Review - Keyboards-midi.musiciansfriend.com "Great Synth/Stage Piano... they have married the two with grace." - Actual User Review - Zzounds.com |
