Yamaha clavinova or Yamaha YDP213
on: August 30, 2008, 04:28:47 PM
Ok so recently I posted an article on buying digital piano closest to the sound of a real piano, and I'm down to 2 : a Yamaha YDP213 for 900 $ (https://musical-instruments.pricegrabber.com/digital-pianos/m/16384452/st=product_tab/) or a Yamaha clavinova for that same price.
Which on should I buy?

Buy the one you like.  ;)

Personally I prefer the Clavinova, esp. the CVP340.

Clavinovas sound better than YDPs but as the previous poster said, ultimately it is down to personal preference!

I haven't tried a YDP213.
I have tried several other midrange Yamahas.

Those with a GHE keyboard were okay.
Those with a GHS keyboard were not, IMO.

The YDP223 has the better GHE.
But you're looking at the YDP213, and I don't know anything about that one.

The yamaha clavinovas and ydp213 are not in the same cabin I'm afraid. Rather than saying that it's ultimately a personal choice of feel, I'd say it's a choice of budget.

Ya know as always, with a fatter wallet, you can get a better keyboard in the world of yamaha digital pianos.
