Yamaha Keyboards (4 Boards) > DGX Portable Grand Pianos (DGX 620,630,640,650,660,670)

DGX670 Value for money is high.

Graham UK:
Months ago a Yamaha customer support member stated DGX is not sold in large quantities. 
Possibly Yamaha doesn't promote it because the profit returns are lower, but customers value for money is very good.
With this lack of general coverage of the DGX670 model it's not brought to the customers attention.

Even with my health problems I push myself to play everyday because of the DGX high quality voice samples and with a key-bed for me that's a joy to play.
This was my first keyboard with a weighted key-bed but within just a couple of weeks I liked it and it would be very difficult for me to go to SX*** type of keys.
Remembering my previous board was Tyros5-76 which was good, but I get as much pleasure playing the DGX670 at a fraction of price.

I have an SX900, and have never bonded with the synth key feel. Instead, I almost exclusively play my wife's 25 year old Yamaha P105.  The SX900 was my first keyboard, so I made a few errors in judgement about how I would actually use it.

You're right, the DG670 seems like a real bargain.

The only real downside of the DGX would be for those that need a portable keyboard.  The sound quality and functionality is everything that most people need, and the keyboard feel is in a different league to the SX or even Genos. It’s like a slightly cut back CVP.
I really think most people kid themselves when they say they prefer the light weight keys on a synth or typical portable arranger. They jus5 don’t know. Once you get used to the feel of a real piano there is no comparison.

I'm a guitarist learning keyboard, so I'm a noob on keys.  What surprised me was how much better my ability to control the dynamics is on a hammer-action keybed. For some reason, the hammer action makes me feel more connected to the music.  I have no idea why.

Best Regards, and merry Xmas

True that. I'm getting re-acquainted with the joys of piano thanks to a Clavinova CSP-170. Yep, it's furniture, but I don't need a portable instrument. The CSPs are interesting critters with decent piano, auto-accompaniment through the Smart Pianist app, and an arranger-like internal sound set. The 170 is roughly equivalent to a PSR-SX700 in that regard.

I played a DGX-670 while trying instruments and have a healthy respect for it and its value per buck.

All the best -- pj
