(2) Menu/function navigation and use is simple and straightforward. (3) The Acoustic Grand setting sounds pretty accurate for a keyboard of this price. (4) Sounds and plays almost as well as the much more expensive YPG-535. ... CONS: (1) Power adapter is not included. (2) Graded Soft Touch still feels like a poor substitute when compared to higher-end keyboards weighted keys. (3) While using the Dual Voice feature, adjusting either or both of the voice volumes is more awkward than it needs to be.
