Review: Great for my purposes, but wouldn't use in a professional setting - I am a professional pianist and was looking for something cheap-ish to keep at my boyfriend's house to teach my virtual music students with. I have an expensive hammered Roland at home but didn't want to travel with something so heavy and risk damaging it with moving it around so much. Plus I hardly need to do more than show quick examples of technique or double check my students are playing the right notes while teaching. This keyboard is perfect for the purpose of limited accompaniment for voice students and does the job for playing examples of complex classical pieces for my students to hear and learn from. It doesn't feel great on the keys but I am able to get a surprisingly broad scope of dynamics out of it. The sound quality is not terrible and it has decent volume. If you're a beginner who is self teaching and don't want to take music further than just playing for yourself in your bedroom, I think this piano is excellent. It is extremely light weight, somewhat mimmiks the feel of a real piano, and you'll be able to play and do most things you can do on a regular piano, just at lower quality. If you intend on using this to advance your skills, I might advise you slightly invest in one of yamahas other keyboards, like a P115 or better. I definitely wouldn't bring this keyboard to a gig, but I'm really happy with the price and quality in terms of the purposes I'm using it for. Review: Seriously an amazing keyboard. - Although the keyboard isn't weighted, it is my humble opinion that this is the closest to weighted a piano can get without actually being so. It is ten times better than those traditional spring-loaded midis. For the traveling pianist, this is great. Keep in mind that the keys aren't full size--they are just slightly narrower, which takes a little while to get used to. But that's a small price to pay for the sound quality(which is amazing). It's portable, it feels decent, and it sounds great. A powerful combo. The only issue is the price. At 200 dollars, it is approaching prices that you can buy a CDP-120 for used. It is still significantly cheaper, but I would prefer a slightly lower price. I actually managed to nab a used one off desertcart for about 129 dollars--I got super lucky with timing. If you manage to grab it for that price, it's a steal. It's good for beginners that don't want to spend too much before diving into the hobby. Some professional pianists may be put off by the action, but again--keep in mind all the benefits. It sounds great and is super portable. You aren't going to get a piano that is this portable and feels this good at any other price point. ## Features - 61 touch sensitive piano-style keys are the perfect introduction to the feel of piano playing - The controller App for iOS adds a rich, graphic user interface allowing for quick and easy navigation and configuration - The USB to Host port allows you to connect and interact with a wide variety of educational and musical creation Apps on a computer or mobile device - Battery powered. Uses six AA batteries with five hours of life - Additional upgrades include 64-note polyphony, a song recorder function, and extended battery life.

I don't like using batteries because they leak and ruin your device over time. Here is a link to the 12V 1A power supply that I brought.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JF5HTZA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 **Q: Does it come with a kind of support for music sheet ?** A: Yes it comes with a stand that attaches. **Q: are the keys full-size? Some reviewers say the keys are slightly narrower than a real piano's.** A: I didn't measure them, but I am used to playing a full-sized grand piano every day, and in a two-hour rehearsal yesterday I did not have to compensate for any differences in key width between the NP12 and my home piano. If there is any difference, then, it is too small to make any difference to a professional player. **Q: Does this keyboard have a midi output?** A: On the back of the keyboard is a usb connector. It's size type-b, that square shape some printers use. (Doesnt come in the box). This not the old 5-pin midi connector; this transmits midi over a usb cable (sometimes called something like midi-to-usb host). This makes it easier to plug it into your laptop (or ipad with camera connection kit) and immediately start controlling midi apps. The older np-11 has a 5 pin, I believe. I assume there are options to convert one to another. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my purposes, but wouldn't use in a professional setting *by L***N on February 18, 2021* I am a professional pianist and was looking for something cheap-ish to keep at my boyfriend's house to teach my virtual music students with.

Now, as for the sound, I really love the sound of this piano, it reminds me of the Yamaha P155 I had as far as sound goes. When you're playing in the "sweet spot" of the piano, you get really luscious chords that are delightful to play. The only thing this keyboard is missing is the graded hammer standard (GHS) that my P155 had - so it doesn't FEEL like playing a real acoustic piano, but for the price, if you're finding yourself with limited funds and are just aching to have something, this definitely fits the bill. Again, if you're looking for an acoustic SOUND, this will not disappoint. It's got excellent sound. I should also mention that it also plays dynamically, so that if you hit the keys hard, you get a loud sharper sound and if you caress the keys you get a very quiet soft note. So that's another plus, you can play those dynamics on this board. Also, the volume is pretty good on this piano, too, and it doesn't sound tinny or electronic or anything. I'd definitely recommend this one to a friend. Oh, and it does have an earphone jack, too, albeit one of those bigger jacks, not the kind of headphones you'd use with your cell phone (I can't wait to get some headphones with that kind of jack, too, because I'll bet it sounds even better plugged in!). If you're a beginner, just learning, don't hesitate, this will give you good service until you advance and save for a higher-level digital from Yamaha - it also has a built-in metronome and a music stand that comes with it, so it's good for practice. I swear by Yamaha keyboards now, everyone I've had has been nice. ## Frequently Bought Together - YAMAHA NP12 61-Key Lightweight Portable Keyboard, Black (Power Adapter Sold Separately) - RockJam Xfinity Heavy-Duty, Double-X, Pre-Assembled, Infinitely Adjustable Piano Keyboard Stand with Locking Straps, Black - Yamaha OEM PKBB1 Adjustable Padded Keyboard X-Style Bench, Black, 19.5 inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/24840239-np12-61-key-lightweight-portable-keyboard-black-power-adapter-sold](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/24840239-np12-61-key-lightweight-portable-keyboard-black-power-adapter-sold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
