Value For Money : Excellent
It is a 88 keys with touch dynamic (see the features on the site)
Theoretically 157 sounds + 32 sounds and 10 drum kits. In fact there is some overlap so it is a little less but it's a lot. Some are very many other less.
It can store 32 patterns (rhythm, tempo, effects, splits, support, volume etc.). But not modify or import sounds. You can also register.
The connection is complete, stereo input and output, two headphones, two pedals, MIDI IN, OUT, THROUGH.

UTILIZATION

I am first and foremost guitarist (35 years of practice amateur) and I play piano on instinct without really having learned where the purchase attempt, among other things to fill this gap. My opinion is not that of an expert.
Having tried a lot of keyboards from simple to real as Gaveau, I think the touch is very decent for entry level. Although more expensive models are couch potatoes. In this price range, only the Korg SP 250 seemed perhaps a little more convincing. Like the sounds. But it seems to me more approach the classic enthusiast. For blueseux pop-rocker, the Privia provides many more opportunities and it's a bit of a compromise between a synth and a piano.
I got books in English in German and Spanish. For the French, it's PDF.

SOUNDS

The sound of the grand piano and a few other very well. There are several organs. Some sounds are irrelevant. There is, against some usable tools that can help to enrich a few lines of the arrangements home studio (balafon, horns, flutes and even a whistle choirs and realistic enough etc ...)
The built-in effects work but rather anecdotal. While waiting to find better and without investing in an expander, I use a guitar multi-effect mixed but cheap. This allowed me to approach the seventies Hammond's unfortunately absent. By fiddling so we can really take pleasure in soul, blues, reggae, rock and heavy, variety or new age. But we must be patient.
I do not know what would happen in a sound but I think the amateur is served.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since March 2007 and I paid € 598 on a German site. As already mentioned above, having tried everything from 600 to € 1200 (Yamaha, Roland, Kawai, M-Audio etc.). I hesitated a moment between Privia and SP 250 Korg really convincing piano and organ classic. To learn and play classical piano, is probably the best in its price range. I finally opted for the Privia for his eclectic knowledge that I do not only become a virtuoso of Chopin or a session man raced across France.
I have not been around and I'm very happy for a long time I think.
It is unfortunate that there is no insertion effects (distortion guitar!) And the volume control remains in master (like Korg) when the branch to an external amplifier. There are other minor imperfections but it is currently very minor.

Bontempi demonstrator for being tried and consumer products Yamaha at the time (there are about twenty years), it has now for the same price, a real piano and a real quality instrument amateur or semi professional.
