Yamaha Psr 295 Review Link

"Here is the problem: 32-note polyphony. If you hold the sustain pedal and play a big chord with auto-accompaniment... [Demonstrate notes cutting out] . You hear that? The sound cuts off. Modern boards have 48 or 64. Also, connecting to a modern iPad is clunky—this uses old USB standards."

"Should you buy it? Yes if: You are a parent with a curious 7-year-old or you want a cheap camping keyboard. No if: You are an adult learner serious about piano. You'll miss the weighted keys. For $50-$80 used? Steal. For $150? Run away." yamaha psr 295 review

"Flip it around. You have a headphone jack (silent practice), a sustain jack (must-have), and an Aux In. The Aux In is cool—you can plug your phone directly into the keyboard to play along with Spotify." You hear that

"This is a 61-key portable board. It is light – about 10 lbs. The keys are plastic, but they are touch sensitive . That is critical. Cheap keyboards don't have that. However, look to the left... no pitch bend wheel. That hurts."
