This guy could sell any keyboard instrument. So beautiful!

I just bought one for my 12 year old daughter as she has blossomed into an amazing little piano artist. So I'm blown away by this keyboard as I own a Yamaha MOTIF XS8... Now I want this one as an addition to my studio.

[RealJoey]

I use this keyboard for my high school marching band! It's an absolute beast in terms of the variety of sounds that are in the sound engine.

It's not the age of the sounds, it's what you do with the sounds that makes all the difference.

[Drivethebeat]

The price is still the same a year later! A good sign that it's keeping it's value. Selling well with good feedback.

Note to anyone considering purchasing this keyboard. Unbelievably, there’s no easy way to create a favorites list. That’s right, you must scroll and find each sound during a song. I can’t believe Yamaha would design a keyboard that doesn’t offer quick sound changes.

Pink Floydesque Psychedelia at 14:00. Brilliant.

[Christian_Girl]

I play in a Contemporary Christian Rock Band, and this piano is what I play. I'm still learning. This is a great video! It helps a lot showing me around so I better understand the controls.

[jpalms]

No lie I’m a beginner and just trying to get my mind around pads and layering and recently bought the MX88. This app will make my world so much easier 🙏🙏🙏 thank you for sharing... how have I not known about this?!!!

[Play-On]

I can't believe that I never herd of this keyboard until now. If the key action is good enough I might buy it.

Makes all people happy is hard. Well done Yamaha.

If you are a professional pianist looking for something to play/practice on when away from the Steinway, this may not be what you’re looking for. The MX88 has a keybed that works well with piano, EP, synth and other voices pretty well, but none stupendously. You can spend a lot more to get a great graded hammer-weighted velocity-sensitive keybed if that is really important to you. If you are a generalist musician looking for a good all-around instrument at a decent price, take a close look at this board.

When he did the orchestral brass, I heard the intro to FFAF.

[PiotrBarcz]

I have one of these, AND IT'S WELL WORTH THE 1200 BUCKS, it has hands down the best sounds of any keyboard!

[DopamineOverload]

Not a bad board for the price. Yamaha needs to do this: Put the Reface CP panel on top of an 88-weighted key board like this. Charge $799 for it. Game over, for the competition. I don't know why they haven't yet done that.

[melissaholland]

I'm in love with Yamaha. Have been since the DX 7❤

[WyattLite-n-inn]

Blake kills it again.. Great demo . I can vouch for the black matte keys. The 49 has them too although not weighted.But they do feel great. This is a great instrument.

[TheKing]

I am loving the sounds of this 88key note definitely check this out next month new practice gear 🎹🎹🎹

[EzraBufford]

I LOVE my MX! -Best Grand Piano sound out there!

[emiliomurillo]

Yamaha has the best low end musical stuff, they respect the poor

[tedmowery]

Excellent presentation, overview + walkthrough of MX88 features and capabilitities. Mine is arriving shortly and I am very much looking forward to it. Am using this and other related MX videos to get familiar with many of the things it can do. Thanks!

*I was originally considering the MX61 but glad I waited and went with the MX88, as I found a great deal on a used one in mint condition. Jam on!!
