For the past 4 months I had been searching for a reasonably priced digital piano that interfaced well with a computer and finally I settled on M-audio’s dcp200 and I couldn’t be happier. I really took a gamble on this piano because all I could find was one very short review of the piano. A couple of years ago I had a yamaha clavinova and while I really liked the piano, this piano is better in so many ways.

First off, the piano looks beautiful; I have the darkgrain model and it blends in with my house really well and it looks very rich. When we first got the piano put together I was slightly dissapointed with the key action, my wife assured me that it just needed to be played a little bit and it would feel better. Boy was she right, I’ve had the piano for 3 weeks now and it feels great, the hammer action is just right.

The sound on this piano is phenominal as well, I was skepital of 20 watt speakers but this piano gets nice and loud and still sounds great. There are 8 different instruments you can play on it which is slightly dissapointing, they probably could have included more for not too much more cost, but the instruments all sound good. The response of the piano is great and allows you to really feel the music you are playing and let you forget that you are not playing an acoustic piano.

If the piano had just the features I had talked about it would still be a great but this piano has much more. The piano comes with a cable to hook it up to your computer as well as software to record your music on the computer. It also comes with a cable to hook up a mp3 player directly to the piano and it has a knob to control the volume of the music input so you can easily play along with your favorite music. It also has 2 headphone jacks.

The piano is simple enough for beginners but advanced enough for people that know a lot about computers and electronics. It also comes with an incredibly detailed guide to show you how to use all the advance features this piano has.

I truly cannot give this piano enough praise, if you are reading this and haven’t decided on a piano buy this one. Also I recommend the m-audio piano bench, its super comfortable and looks great. I promise I’m not affiliated in anyway with M-Audio and am not being paid to write this review. Buy the piano and write your own review, you won’t be dissapointed.

Also right now M-audio has a mail in rebate where they will send you a set of headphones (retail is over [...]) as well as 3 music books of your choice. I’m still waiting to get mine but am excited nonetheless.

This was a Christmas present for my husband. He was excited about getting a digial piano. He is quite impressed with the weighted keys and the pedals. My husband is very particular about his instruments. He does play and compose music. His specifics for a keyboard were that it has to be 88 keys, and have weighted keys. This keypbord met his requirements and the stand is a bonus. It is very nice and has a cover that glides down over the keys. This digial piano feels and plays like a regular piano except it does not need tuning. Shipping was fast, only two days, and we live in an area where we can wait for weeks. The assembly was quick and easy. An additionl blessing is the jack for headphones. I really like the compact size, as we live in a very small house and it does not take up much room. The stand is sturdy and supports the keyboard. There are no wobbles or shifting while in use.

I shared this web site with another co-worker and he ended up making the same purchase for his family. His family has been enjoying it since it arrived. Another co-worker was visiting and asked to see the piano. She was impressed with the feel of it and the look. She has a 76 key keyboard that she does not like to use because the keys do not have the graded hammer action. She is looking into making the same investment.
