Yamaha Graded Hammer Action Keyboard

This is the only budget DP which provides proper hammer response and repetitive notes (trills). comparison: Kawai RHC action - proper hammer response but no repetitiveness Casio Scaled Hammer Action - modified hammer response Roland PHA-4 action - no hammer response at all Yamaha GHS action - no hammer response at all, no repetitiveness

The Hammer 88 is a no frills MIDI controller with a nice weighted action. Construction seems solid. A pretty good buy for the price.

I had the Keylab61 MKII, but needed the hammer-action keys for orchestral arrangments, and just because I like the feel of a real piano. I read reviews that said the action is heavy, it is, but not in a bad way. Most real pianos I have played have a heavier action so maybe I am used to it. Connectivity: Yeah, it's amazing with Cubase. I found a script online and I was off to the races. I open up the MIDI control center and adjust some user defined MIDI CC presets for a lot of my orchestral VST's, and easy peasy. Build Quality: The Komplete Kontrol everyone hems and haws about is plastic and more expensive, it also doesn't integrate as well as they would like you to believe. This thing is metal, and beautiful with wood accents. No, you don't get a big LCD screen, like I need another screen, I have two 32 screens already. Bottom line, if you want something that you can feel expressive on, has all the MIDI sliders and knobs you need to fiddle about, or make your orchestral arrangements sound more realistic, this is it. I love my Arturia. They are like teenage engineering but affordable.

Keyboard is great - graded and weighted and feels correct when playing. Small amp is a great addition but built-in acoustics work fine. Can't be beat for the money especially with the bench, pedal and stand.

Perfect inexpensive coverup for your Yamaha or other same sized keyboard.

I bought this for my Yamaha keyboard - fits perfectly and looks great!

Covers my yamaha np-30 keyboard perfectly.

So far I have only great things to say about this stand. I have an M-Audio Hammer 88 weighted keyboard on the lower tier, and an NI Komplete Kontrol 49 on top. Works great!!!

I love the lighting and the action of this keyboard.  I would recommend it to anyone.

This Yamaha Keyboard Bag is just great. It's compact. It's a perfect size for my keyboard to fit in. It protects it on all sides.
