Yamaha DGX220 Keyboard







The Yamaha DGX220 Keyboard is part of the Yamaha DG Series which includes the DGX520 and DGX620. This is a portable keyboard ideal for beginners.

While the two other DG keyboards have 88 keys, the Yamaha DGX220 Keyboard has 76 keys but it does not mean it is inferior. The keys are light-weighted compared to the DGX620 so if you’re looking for keys with the hammer effect much like the acoustic piano then this is not the keyboard for you.

The Yamaha DGX220 Keyboard boasts of an onboard sequencer which makes it possible for you to record 5 songs or 6 tracks. It also has 2-way speaker system with the amazing bass boost for better sounds. The USB MIDI feature allows you to connect the keyboard to your PC.

One of the coolest features of this keyboard is the Performance Assistant which makes playing along with any built-in song fairly easy. This is a nice touch that can encourage beginners to practice more.
