88% appreciated the key action, though 12% found them light
I love playing the digital piano because the key action is just like a real piano.
The graded hammer action of this digital piano feels good compared to keyboards I have played in the past.
The key action is wonderful and mimics an acoustic piano essentially flawlessly.
The keys feel like a real piano as they are made of wood.

78% were satisfied with the portable design
The piano fits perfectly in a space that would not work for a traditional acoustic piano, indicating its portability.
It was easy to assemble and use.
85% praised the sound quality, while 15% desired more
The sound quality of this YDP-103 model is excellent. I can't imagine it being any better, despite it being one of the least expensive models in Yamaha's line of instruments.
I can't imagine the sound quality of this model being any better, it's excellent.
The piano looks, sounds, and feels great.
If you can live with the limited range of notes, the sound quality may be adequate. But, notes below or above the specified range deteriorate the sound quality significantly.

75% liked the seamless app integration
I couldn't find much information on supported tables IOS vs Android, so I bought a Galaxy Tab and the needed cables. I didn't know if it would work, but it did. With this piano, I can customize my Aruis-184 and play music with the option of it transposing onto sheet music. I can download MIDI files and play them as a lesson or even have the Piano just play it... It's like having a live Concert in my home.
75% appreciated the connectivity options, though 25% wished more
I cannot connect my iPad/iPhone to the piano as it does not have Bluetooth or WiFi connectivity and USB connection is not supported.
84% found the pedal functionality useful, but 16% thought it was sensitive
The sustain pedal requires too much muscle power, causing my wife's leg to get tired after playing for a few minutes.
I am unable to find a replacement cord for the pedal as the tiny pins on the cord broke.
