If you want a simple keyboard without all the “fancy bells and whistles" that more closely resembles the experience of playing a real piano, the Yamaha NP32 is for you.

With 76 keys it’s only 12 short of a standard piano, more than enough for beginners to intermediate players to hone their skills. And the piano tones, sampled from a Yamaha concert grand piano, sound rich and sweet.

It’s also light enough to be carried in one hand and runs on batteries, so you can take it anywhere and play all the time!

The NP-32 features a “Graded Soft Touch keyboard” with keys in the bass register having a heavier feel while the high notes are lighter. It's amazingly natural and expressive.

Conclusion: For a simple, portable and sweet sounding starter piano, the Yamaha NP32 can’t be beat.
