The Yamaha DGX-670 is a Huge Upgrade over the DGX-660

Many people have asked for a review of the DGX-670 and I must be honest, I was hesitant to get one, because I wasn't super impressed with the DGX-660. It was OK for a home use instrument, but it hadn't changed a lot in many years and some of its features seemed outdated by a decade. All of this has changed with the new 670, however. The case has been redesigned, the screen is a full-color, fresh looking display, and the sounds have been revamped to include some incredible organ, woodwind, brass, and piano sounds that are better than ever before. The instrument is amazing on its own - and that's not discussing any of its arranger functionalities!

While some things have remained the same, like the single headphone jack output and the GHS keybed, the things that have been improved are such an incredible advancement that it makes me wonder what is to come for the P-Series...

Truth be told, you sold me on the DGX-670. The subsequent trip to the music store only further confirmed that choice. Having loads of fun with this instrument now! Thanks!

This is another fine review by you and I thank you, I trust your reviews implicitly.
I was blown away by the sound of the 670 piano compared to the 660. About two years ago I purchased a 660 which was intended to go to my granddaughter and I had it in my home for about three months before I could get it to her in Denver so I had some experience with the 660 and its sound. Soon I will be transitioning from my single family home to a retirement center and since I will not be able to take my Shimmel grand as it is too loud, I have been looking for a keyboard to purchase that has midi and will work with headphones and this seems to be the one I will purchase. The only problem is that the three pedals will not work with the X-stand and the lack of a true line out to an external amp. I think I can get around the headphone output problem by running the cable from the piano to a mixer and then get a headphone outlet and a line out. The pedals are another matter however but after
looking at how the pedals attach to the wooden stand, I think I can make a bracket to accept
the 3 pedals and then when I wish to move the piano to someplace else or venue I can keep the x stand and use the three pedals also. What are your thoughts? Thanks.

I don't even care about the instrument... the way you play is exceptional 👏

Thinking of treating myself to a new keyboard and this is right at the top of my list. Thanks for the quick look around and I am encouraged in my choice by your very positive comments.

The panning effect from 14:30 is kinda trippy.. Great review tho. and great performance :)

Thank you James for doing this review. Thank you Encore Music for letting James use your piano. I hope that Yamaha knows that I have already bought one of their pianos on your advice and will probably buy this one as well because I trust your opinion. I do hope you do a deeper dive into this product and thanks again James for giving a clueless piano students father some much needed guidance.

I really appreciate the level of detail you go into on all the features of the instruments you review. Thanks!

Thanks for finally posting a review!

I tried it in guitar center, it was amazing

I originally got the 660 from Kraft music on Sep 2020, but when the 670 was released the guys at Kraft helped me return the 660, so I could pre-order the 670, and it finally arrived on June 3rd 2021, veeery long wait but very glad with the results.
Now I gotta learn how to play it. 😁

This was a blast and wow such a nice upgrade to the DGX 660, thank you for the amazing review. Also enjoy California 😎

This was rad. I'm sure you weren't bothering anyone.

[briandolson]

Hope you're planning to get one for your studio and will be doing a more in depth review 🙏

[ShellyAnderson]

Thank you for another great review :) I would love to own one of these, especially after you showcased some of the beautiful sounds.

VRM is virtual resonance modeling- which does a more accurate reproduction of the resonance between other strings and the (virtual) piano case. Subtle but detectable difference- especially with headphones.

Grew up in Auburn CA and used to frequent Encore. Glad to see that they are still open and doing well.

[Tomtycoon]

For such a big upgrade, they should have called it the DGX-700 series.

[stitt_sumie]

No external stereo outputs is a showstopper for me. Note: The Scarlatti sonata in E Major sounded great. 👍

[josue]

Great quick review. I picked up this instrument and am in love with it so far. There are so many great features packed into an 800 dollar package, I'm honestly a little shocked that Yamaha would cannibalize some of its higher-priced keyboards with this.

[canadiansoul]

What I like you is that you are 100% compromissed with your real impressions. I really trust into your opnion

Hi from Brazil ;)

[geraldfriesen]

Nice instrument! Great playing the Scarlatti as well!
