Product Description
The Yamaha np-11 is a piano-style keyboard that offers a compact portable intrument with a superb sound. The Yamaha np-11 is slim, light and compact, and is perfect for both beginners and for anyone who needs a highly portable keyboard with a great piano sound. It features a 61-key touch-sensitive keyboard with boxed-type keys (non-weighted). The Yamaha np-11 uses awm (advanced Wave Memory) sampling, which recreates the sound and expression of the original instrument by using advanced digital technology. The np-11 features a stereo amplifier that creates a powerful, natural sound from a compact speaker system. The Dual voice feature combines two sounds together (e.g. Piano and strings) for greater versatility. The np-11 comes with an eco-friendly function that turns off the instrument automatically if the keyboard has not been used for a set amount of time in order to avoid using power unnecessarily

Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
I haven't touched a piano key for thirty years. Probably as a result of being pressured to play by my parents when I just wasn't interested.
Well, things have certainly changed since this Yamaha NP11 Piaggero Portable Digital Piano came, fortuitously, into my life last week via Amazon Vine (thank you, very kind). If this is an `entry level' piano keyboard then the top end ones must be outstanding. The NP11 is beautifully made and the technology used to create it is truly 21st Century. The keys feel like they have a real weight to them and the sound is what I imagine a proper piano to sound like.
I want more. I want to be able to do this instrument justice and I will learn to play it properly. I think we're going to have a lot of fun this time.

The Yamaha NP-11 Piaggero Portable Digital Piano is a fine example of a low-budget, beginner to advanced player digital piano.
I recently sold a Korg SP250, which by rights is a proper digital piano (in that it has properly weighted keys, is the full width and weighs a tonne). The Yamaha NP-11, which rocks in at £350 cheaper than the Korg impressed on opening!
It lives up to its reputation in many ways. Much like the Korg, the NP-11 has a realistic grand piano voice, which you would expect for a company with such a historical share of the piano market. I wanted something portable but still piano-like for taking to gigs. The NP-11 has piano-style keys, about half weighted but the correct size. I enjoy the weighting of piano keys over, say, a keyboard, but with full-weight keys comes a heavy piano! The NP-11 weighs around 5kg! You can lift it with one finger. Compared to the Korg (which was about 20kg, this is definitely a 'portable' digital piano.
What is great about the NP-11 is despite being comparatively cheap to other electronic pianos, the quality is still there. It sounds great, feels great to play and even looks fancy, even if it is all plastic.
Due to the weighting of the keys the keyboard is suitable for beginners, especially children. Although it is not a full size piano keyboard, there are enough octaves there to play a wealth of songs. Unless your training to be the next Beethoven you should be fine.
Hidden in the keyboards disappointingly vague control panel are a number of additional tweaks that can be performed to the piano to alter its sounds/effects. Aside from having a small number of voices (which is fine if the intention is to use it as a 'piano'), you can alter the reverberation, octave, touch sensitivity, tuning (and transposition), amongst other things.
The only downside I have found with the keyboard is the control panel being so vague. I personally stuck a bit of masking tape on mine and wrote down the short cuts, but this is to help me when I am playing at a gig and want fast control. In time you will remember how to alter them all without the booklet (which is very clear). For general day to day playing, the piano is great. I prefer it to my £600 Korg in many ways and am glad I made the change.

My keyboard was delivered just over a week ago now, and I have to say that overall i'm very happy with it! First of all the service through Prime was excellent and it was delivered on time (even though it was being delivered to an offshore island). When the keyboard arrived the package was easy to open, and I was also pleased to see that most of the packaging was able to be recycled too.
The keyboard itself is very light and compact, and doesn't take up too much space. It is very easy to operate, especially if you are not too fussed about anything other than a standard piano sound (which I find fairly good). The volume wheel is quite sensitive, so it's easy to get the volume you are after. With only having 61 keys I would imagine it wouldn't be too daunting for someone beginning the piano to get to grips with, but it still offers enough scope to not be too limited for anyone with more advanced skills (especially considering the touch response settings and the option of being able to plug in a sustain pedal).
Some slight negatives I have found are that the keys are very noisy when pressed - so much so that it can sometimes be quite difficult to hear the notes being played over the noise of the keys when the volume is turned down (although using headphones blocks the noise out quite well). I also find that when playing two or more notes together it can be quite difficult to hear all the individual notes being played (although this could quite possibly just be my playing)! Although there are several different touch response settings you can select (fixed, soft, medium and hard) I don't find a great deal of difference between them.
After growing up in a household where there was always a piano around, I wanted to buy a piano keyboard that was suitable for my 3 year old toddler to have a go on (and not too expensive to be that upset if he hammered the heck out of it and caused it's demise), and also for me to get back into playing again. I think the NP 11 would suit beginners or children well as a first piano, and for my personal needs I think it fits the bill perfectly!
