Depending on the preference of the user, the DGX500AD may have a few drawbacks. The keys on the DGX500AD are supposed to be "weighted," meaning that the keys will have the feel of real piano keys. However, I found very little, if any, weight at all to these keys. While the piano-size keys are much nicer to play than more inexpensive synthesizer keys, these keys still did not feel like real piano keys. The quality of the speakers was a bit disappointing as well; the speaker quality on the DGX500AD was better than the DGX300AD, but interestingly enough not as good as the DGX200AD. The sound on this keyboard was not very full and had a kind of tinny and weak quality to it.
Overall, the DGX500AD is a good keyboard for the price. If having all 88 keys is not as important to you, I would recommend going for the DGX300AD, with 76 keys, and if you do not need the built-in floppy drive, you may opt for the DGX200AD, also with 76 keys. --Chris Fresolone

Customer Reviews of Yamaha DGX-500AD 88-Note Touch-Sensitive Portable Electronic Keyboard with AC Adapter
My refurbished Yamaha DGX-500 broke after 2 months Hello all, <
> <
>I would be wary about buying a Yamaha DGX-500 from a third party seller from Amazon. <
> <
>I bought my DGX-500 last summer for about $400. It seemed like a good deal b/c comparable models were at least $200 more. There's a reason that Yamaha no longer offers the DGX-500 and the only ones you can find are refurbished. The keyboard worked fine for 2 months, and I was very happy with it. But one day I turned it on but the keys no longer played any notes. I could turn on the keyboard, I could see the display was working, I could hear music whenever I pushed the demo button, but when I try to press a key nothing happens. I believe there's a connection problem between the keys and the actual keyboard. <

>Amazon was no help after a month, because I bought the keyboard from a third-party vendor, and they do not take responsibility for their third party vendors. I called Yamaha and they tried to help me out, but they were of no help. I could not reset the keyboard because the keys did not work (If you push the highest key while turning on the keyboard, it's suppose to reset the keyboard and give you a message, but I got no message). Yamaha's warranty was not applicable because the vendor was not an authorized Yamaha dealer. <

>In retrospect, I wish I had bought the keyboard from a local shop. I would have gladly payed an extra $200 not to have to deal with this hassle.
New Pianist
The DGX-500 (purchased via a company on the internet and not via Amazon) was great for the first few months...( even though it never gave the "grand Piano loudness").. until the right bank of speakers began to exhibit 'fuzzy' sounds with each strike of any key .. no matter what voice is used. I've tried 'everything' I can think of to correct the situation, to no avail. I suppose the only alternative is to purchase external speakers? Would this rectify the problem? Please, if you have information to help, let me know. Presently, I'm heading to Radio Shack to talk to them about this and get their input.
Great Product
I bought this for my wife. This is most certainly a great product. I do agree however, that the keys are not as weighted as they should be. My wife mentioned that they feel as though they spring back unlike a standard piano.
