Yamaha P-120

The Yamaha P-120 is a portable electronic piano. The 88-key keyboard is action-weighted, imitating the feel of a real piano. It includes several sample keyboard sounds, such as harpsichord, clavichord, vibraphone, guitar and more. Basic sequencing and editing are built-in. Excellent feel to the keys, good tone, easily accessed ports on side (not back). Problems with keys sticking have been reported.

Contents

The sticky key problem is caused by the plastic used in the manufacture of the keys for the P120 reacting with the grease used to form an adhesive like substance. This has been recognised by Yamaha.

Customer service

Yamaha originally offered replace the key-bed (part cost only) free labor if sticky key was experienced. In 2012 this changed to (labor cost only) free part cost. On December 31, 2013, the sticky key replacement program ended, user pays parts and labor.
