Very nearly PERFECT Sep 03, 2010 By not the only one
After finally deciding it was time to upgrade, i've begun the quest of finding the PERFECT keyboard. I am only able to compare the P95 to my Korg N-one so far and of course to the real pianos i`ve played. Hands down the Yamaha P95 is the most touchy feely digital piano i`ve ever had the pleasure to play. It invites expression, something i really was missing from my acoustic piano days. So that`s marvellous. The tone is `nearly`` perfect. Still think there must be a better one out there, but i haven`t found it yet. This is as close as i`ve come so far to sound perfection, for the acoustic piano sound. The other sounds are sadly lacking but that`s not what i need it for. So for feel, full marks, acoustic piano tone nearly full marks. Ease of operation - to be honest i did not get the manual as this is a rental. I`m sure with a manual you could figure out all the ins and outs. But for just sit down and play, record while you play, play it back, add a bit of strings, all simple and no brainers. (nice change after the Korg N-one) I`m not complaining about my Korg, it`s just a completely different beast (yes you have to tame it) but the Yamaha is so user friendly i loved it immediately. The pedal is ok, it works, just tape it down so it doesn`t slide away on you. Nothing unusual about that if you`ve ever played on stage, everything HAS to be taped or strapped down or else. So no biggy. The other thing about the P95 is how darned easy it is to carry. I just about broke my knees every time i had to move that KOrg. This P95 I can carry with ONE hand. Wow. That`s worth every penny right there. Speaking of which, it is a real bargain - you will not be disappointed with a P95, even if you are still looking for the perfect digital piano, which after all may or may not exist. I Highly recommend the P95.

Great buy for the money... Dec 02, 2010 By Classical
It sounds and feels great for a digital piano. It does only come with about 10 voices, but if you're learning to play or just want to play most standard songs you don't need all of the others. It doesn't have all the 'bells and whistles', it is pretty basic. But it does have the ability to do quite a bit... you just have to read the instructions to learn how to access them using the actual piano keys as opposed to having a button for specific functions (like changing the key signature on the metronome, changing reverb settings, or adding duel voices). One down side is that it only has midi connections (no usb ports), but it's not a real big deal. usb would be nice, but you can transfer all the data you need to and from your computer or other midi device pretty quickly with the midi connections... you just have to buy a midi-usb adapter to connect to the computer. Two quarter inch audio jacks for headphones or PA. Full 88 Weighted keys. For someone looking for a portable, digital piano that sounds good for the money... I think Yamaha did it right on this one.

Careful about stand choice Dec 25, 2010 By Annette
I was really excited to get this piano. I chose it for the wighted keys and sound. I ran into trouble with the stand however.

Amazon and Best Buy recommended an "X" style stand, which is totally wrong for this table top keyboard. Now I have to order and wait for the Yamaha L-85 stand.

Don't know if anyone else had this problem, but don't do what I did.

Great Digital Paino Oct 12, 2010 By J. Perez
I purchased the p95 about 2 months ago and I'm really enjoying it. Yes, you do give up some of the bells and whistles of larger keyboards, but I like the sound, keys, and features it does have. Most important for me was the sound and feel of the keys. The sound is great. The speakers get loud enough for my taste, although I often play with headphones on. The keys have a good feeling. The features are basic but you get what counts. Most of the controls of intuitive, but I did have to reference the manual at times. I also like that it is pretty easy to move. When I'm not playing it goes in my closet. Moving the keyboard isn't a hassle even though I play pretty much everyday.

Good Value for the Money Oct 20, 2011 By A. Copeland "mommy bird"
This is a solid digital piano for home use. It's frequently compared to Casio PX-130, which usually retails for $50 less. I shopped both but decided on the Yamaha because 1) I have no use for the extra features on the PX-130, 2) Yamaha has a 3-year warranty (vs 1-year for PX-130), 3) I was able to get hold of a Yamaha support person to answer my questions even before I was an owner (no such luck with Casio), and 4) I have yet to hear anyone rave about "Casio quality," either on-line or in person; when I spoke to a music-store rep about digital pianos he touted the PX-130 as "the best seller," but little else. When I tried out the DPs the feel was heavier on the P-95 than the PX-130, but that can be adjusted.

The P-95 is a good substitute for a "real," or acoustic, piano for a novice player. It has the same feel as an upright (I have no experience with a grand/baby grand), the tones are true for all keys, it never needs to be tuned, it weighs just 30 lbs. The basic unit comes with a music rest and a sustain peddle. The included sustain peddle isn't that useful, I plan to shell out $75 for a Yamaha 3-pedal system later, to fit in the L85 stand ($100). Without the stand, when the basic unit is set on a flat surface, the keys slant downward, slightly, toward the back, making playing just a little awkward. This can be corrected by elevating the back of the unit enough to make the keys flat but I just want to have the stand. It's important to test-play the DP before buying so you know what other accessories you need/want and what the final cost will be.

And what does Casio PX-130 have that Yamaha P-95 doesn't? The P-95 doesn't come with all the production features for creating digital music; 3rd-party accessory is required. It is more cumbersome to adjust the settings(e.g., reverberation type/depth, sound combination, touch sensitivity) on the P-95 than the PX-130. However I only need to deal with the settings once so it's acceptable. BTW, all the info on settings is on page 32 of the owner's manual. On the other hand, I wonder whether a serious music professional who creates music digitally will use a Casio. Although those features would be great fun for a budding keyboard artist to get a feel for what it's like. Yamaha also doesn't have a toll-free number for customer service. I find that stingy of them but it's a small matter. As for the sound, a digital piano is no acoustic piano, I suspect there's no cure for that in this price range regardless of the brand. I'm having tons of fun playing with different instrument sounds, though, especially with combinations of instruments. When I'm ready to upgrade I plan to get one using virtual sound models, which is too expense for a beginner piano player.

There are plenty of other differences that matter to people who are more knowledgeable. For me, the P-95 is a good value for the money, what it doesn't have vs PX-130 isn't an issue. Currently, the P-95 goes for $550 on-line with free shipping, but there are better deals if one does some research.
