The first one of these piano/keyboards that I received had one very noisy key and one very stiff key, so that one went back for a replacement.
The NPV60 is £50 cheaper than the NPV80 but considering that you get the £20+ sustain pedal included, superior piano sound, more connectivity and other extras with the NPV80, it is by far the better buy. So I sent the NPV60 back and bought the NPV80.
Alas I have also sent the NPV80 back as that also had a noisy key and I have decided that I don't care for the cheap rubber buttons that Yamaha insist on using that don't always seem to work first time. I suppose they are cheaper to manufacture but I'm sure there is a better solution than rubber membrane buttons that you also get on the cheapest keyboard.
But on the plus side these instruments do have in my opinion very good sound quality both models having twin 6 watt amplifiers and if that is not enough power they can be plugged into an external amp.
On both models the keyboard itself is sufficient although I question whether the graded soft touch action really works, as I couldn't really feel much difference between the base and treble key action. I also question how much heavy playing the keybard could stand before the keys become noisy.
There are a number of very good sampled voices on both models eg Piano, electric piano, organ, trumpet, saxophone, and many more. Yamaha have also included a lot of gimmicky sounds such as running horses, gunshots, ringing telephones, sirens, etc the quality of which is abysmal and not needed on a serious instrument.
Overal the price is good for what you get (espaecially on the NPV80) I would reccomend either of these models for someone learning piano or for a player wanting a portable instrument for moderate use.

This was my first keyboard/piano so, though I have been a musician for the past 6 years, I am writing as a 'beginner'. The NPV60 is exactly what I needed. Most of the sounds (and all of the ones you will be using regularly) are fantastic, with the 'Grand Piano' voice being far superior to the others I tried in this price range. It's also remarkably easy to use, with very few of its functions requiring more than a few button presses and knob turns. The action of the keys is semi-weighted and very nice to play.
The model up from this is the NPV80, and it's got a few more bells and whistles, some major, some minor, but this model is a great piece of kit, and will not fail to please if you'd rather save £50-80 (like me).

I wrongly decided on this model after looking at product info and Yamaha's own on-line demos on you tube. I found the information there somewhat misleading because they do not differenciate between the NPV60 and the NPV80.
As other reviewers have mentioned - and to put it simply, the main differences between the 2 items are;
NPV60 = basic model.
NPV80 = sustain pedal/arpeggiator function included.
I sent mine back and subsequently ordered the Yamaha PSR-E423 which is great and does have the arpeggiator function (see my review)
I also ordered a sustain pedal, and a stand all for less than the price of the NPV60 alone.

This is a great product
Bought the Piaggero NP-V60 for my wife as I dropped her old keyboard :-( That was a Yamaha PSR which has given faithful service for over 10 years so I had no particular worries... Read more

Fantastic product
My daughter is learning the piano. We have no room for a standard piano, but I wanted to find a keyboard that was close to the feel of a conventional piano. Read more
