The Yamaha YPT310 portable keyboard has 61 touch sensitive keys, 482 voices, Music Database, and stereo speakers with bass ports are just a few of the features included with this incredible portable instrument. This special package comes complete with a pair of professional closed cup headphones, a keyboard stand, and a power supply. Expressive Touch Like a Piano If you're buying a keyboard having piano in mind, you'll want Yamaha's Touch Response feature. On an acoustic piano, striking a key harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound. With Yamaha's "Touch Response" the YPT-310 keyboard responds like an acoustic piano. Backlit LCD Screen Since you spend a lot of the time at your keyboard looking at the LCD display screen, you might as well get one that's easy to see--like the backlit LCD in the YPT-310. Portable Grand: One Press to an Amazing Stereo Grand Voice You're never more than a button push away from the most realistic piano sound in portable keyboards today. One press of the Portable Grand button resets the entire keyboard to a stereo-sampled piano--perfect for when it's time to practice. Yamaha is known around the world for the quality of our acoustic pianos and this attention to detail is evident as you enjoy the warmth and clarity of the YPT-310 Portable Grand piano. And of course, the keyboard includes a Sustain Pedal jack on the back for practicing and playing piano pieces. Yamaha Education Suite (Y.E.S.): Learn How To Play Now! The YPT-310 has 102 built-in songs for you to learn to play, using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary. Three keyboard lessons for each hand:
- Lesson One – LISTEN & LEARN the melody or rhythm of a selected song
- Lesson Two – TIMING mode allows you to play the melody or chord by pressing any key using the correct timing
- Lesson Three: WAITING mode stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues
- Lesson Grading – monitors your progress as you practice each lessons two and three and gives you a grade.
- Chord Dictionary – shows you how to play chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord name on the LCD screen.
Sound Effect Kit: Have Some Fun! If you or your kid doesn't think playing keyboard is cool, wait 'til you hears this keyboard. Get the world of Hip Hop and all the hottest sound effects in your Yamaha keyboard. Push the Sound Effect button, hold down a key with your right hand, and you're groovin'. Sound Quality: Real Stereo with Bass Ports (Not Just 2 Speakers) Some keyboards have two speakers but aren't stereo. Don't be fooled. Just because a keyboard has two speakers doesn't mean that it's truly stereo with two separate amplifiers. All Yamaha Portable Keyboards feature stereo-sampling technology. - Bass Ports – Port on each speaker that adds a powerful impact to bass sound reproduction
- Stereo (Not just 2 Speakers) – We all know that stereo sound adds realistic character and spatial depth. But how can you tell if the portable keyboard you're looking to purchase is stereo or not? With Yamaha, the answer is simple. All Yamaha Portable Keyboards are true stereo.
32 Note Polyphony and 16 Part Multi Timbrel In electronic keyboards, the more sounds made at the same time (polyphony), the more memory is needed. Obviously, more is always better, because too little polyphony can cause dropouts in dense passages of music. Some keyboards at this price point have only 12-note polyphony. The YPT-310 has 32 notes of polyphony and will play back 16 different parts or sounds at once (16-part multi timbrel); enough for the most demanding needs.  | 106 Accompaniment styles and the One Touch Setting The YPT-310 comes with 106 built-in styles, waiting for you to play along with. It's just like having a built-in band. Call up your favorite style of music like Rock, Big Band or Country, press a chord or play Single Finger mode, and the YPT-310 will follow you through a piece of music, providing all of the drums, bass, piano, guitar, horn and string parts for you. And to make it easy and fun, when you select one of the styles, the One Touch Setting function will automatically configure keyboard parameters, such as voice selection and digital effects, to match that selected music style. In addition, you can transfer new Styles into the Flash ROM in the keyboard. 482 General MIDI (GM) and XGLite Voices The YPT-310 has a large selection of professional sounding voices called XGlite. Only Yamaha's best keyboards have the capacity to support and reproduce Yamaha's XGlite voices. The result is amazing sound quality and almost 500 voices for you to choose from, offering even greater compatibility with both 3rd party and Yamaha XG software. Computer Connectivity and Flash ROM The YPT-310 comes with 102 built-in songs and an interactive lesson system, divided into left and right hand parts, for learning them. In addition, you have the ability to connect to a computer, download more songs from the Internet into the internal Flash ROM, and use all of the Yamaha Education Suite V5 features to help you learn to play them. Yamaha makes it easy to get connected with the new PC button. Now, instead of wading through function menus and fighting through a maze of selections, one button is your expressway to music on the web and your computer. You can connect to the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) port on the back with an optional USB-MIDI Interface like the Yamaha UX16. Once connected, you can play your songs into the computer, edit them if necessary, and e-mail them to your friends and family. And with General MIDI (GM) and XGlite compatibility, song data always plays back with the correct sounds. 9 Digital Reverb Plus 4 Chorus Effects Yamaha has long been a world leader in digital signal processing technology. In fact, Yamaha professional audio products are found in most professional recording studios around the world. The YPT-310 takes full advantage of this know-how, giving you an extensive range of nine, top-quality reverb effects that simulate playing in everything from a small room to a large spacious concert hall and four chorus effects that add richness to electric pianos and guitars in particular.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Good Keyboard, but horrible headphones Comment: For the price, this is a great keyboard. However, as part of the bundle, the headphones are of extremely cheap quality. After a few days, the music only comes into the right headphone, in addition, the jack adapter for 6.3mm became very loose inside and didn't provide solid connection to the headphones - hence no sound at all. I wound up going to a local reputable music store and getting intro, but decent quality, sennheiser headphones. And the bummer is that I don't know of a way to just return/exchange the headphones from this bundle without returning everything. From now on, I will stay away from bundles, and just get each individual item - at least I will know the maker of each item.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great learning keyboard, with one upgrade Comment: I finally started taking piano lessons, and this keyboard is my practice instrument. One thing I started to dislike is the sound of the lower octaves - the built in speakers just don't have the size to do the left-hand side justice.
I then came upon an idea. I had in my closet an old 2.5 PC speaker system - two stereo mini speakers with a woofer box. I hooked this PC system up to the keyboard and WOW - what a difference! Point is, you don't have to get an amp and big, expensive speakers to get more 'tone' out of this (or any) portable keyboard. Just search for cheap, second hand PC speakers of decent quality.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Love the keyboard, hate the stand Comment: This keyboard is great. It's the "extras" that aren't so good!
When I opened the huge box that came in the mail I felt as though there had been a misunderstanding. My beautiful Yamaha keyboard was included in its own glorious box, but there were also two cheap, nondescript boxes as well. Those boxes contained the stand and the headphones. Although the headphones looked as if they were purchased at a swap meet for about $5, they work. It's the stand that is the problem.
I had assumed that the stand would be compatible with the keyboard. It isn't, really. If you live alone without and pets, this stand should be fine. But I have a baby, dogs, and cats in the house, and I just couldn't risk leaving a $200 keyboard unsecured on top of this stand. It could easily tip and fall over. The bottom of the keyboard has two groves to create a secure fit with a stand, but this stand DOES NOT FIT IN THE GROOVES! Since it is an adjustable x-stand, as the stand gets lower the bars on top get farther apart. Also, it's not a Yamaha stand.
I ended up ordering the Yamaha L3C Attachable Keyboard Stand for an additional $35 (http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-L3C-Attachable-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B000YID5OG/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2). I suggest buying the JUST THE keyboard through Best Buy or another electronics store for around $170 and then ordering the stand separately through Amazon. That way you'll come out at the same price instead of having to spend an additional $35 after the fact, like me :(
Customer Rating:      Summary: Loved my keyboard Comment: Loved my keyboard but it was missing a small cord. When I contacted Amazon they instantly gave me a 20% discount. Although I would have liked to have received all the items, I did appreciate the 20% discount. I would recommend this product to anyone interested.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Nice Keyboard Comment: I have the YPT-310 and it is a lot of fun to play. The keys are not full-size piano keys, so I don't know exactly how Yamaha got the "Full Size Keyboard Bundle". Since my hands are not large, the smaller keys make a LOT of music much easier to play.
The different voices are what I find the neatest. I just take a few measures of my piece and cycle through all the voices quickly to find something good. Even though you have only 61 keys, some voices fill in a lower base line, and you can get a very full complex sound without much effort.
Since I already play piano, I don't use any of the learning stuff. And I don't use any of the pre-recorded songs or percussion tempos, etc. Either you are going to play something authentic, or listen to a recording on you iPod. All the in-between automatic electronic combo features don't have the variance of a real group playing ... way too smooth and regular.
Also the touch sensitive feature doesn't have a lot of touch sensitive, not even close to a piano.
I don't know how anyone could find any fault with this keyboard. The next step up (88 full size keys with piano touch sensitive) is three to four times most costly and a heavier weight to carry with little difference in sound.
So this is definitely the best value I've ever seen.
