With its sleek design and responsive keys, you can transition effortlessly from practicing your first scales to performing full pieces for friends and family.
To get the most out of your practice sessions, try using the built-in lessons to master different genres before moving on to complex compositions.

The Yamaha EZ 220 Keyboard is the perfect beginner’s instrument. I bought it for myself and my brother Matt. The illuminated keys make Matt close to the instrument, playing it is like a game. The instrument is easy to use, in addition to being able to connect to an iPad with a dedicated application, it can also be connected via a USB cable to a computer and enjoy additional lessons with the Synthesia program. The timbre of the instrument may not be impressive, but it’s ok for the price. Additionally, we have dynamic keys, which is also very useful.
I recommend everyone to buy this keyboard.

a musical miracle that’s more like a keyboard-shaped participation trophy. I mean, who needs a rich, full-bodied sound when you can have… well, not that? But hey, let’s dive into the wonderful world of mediocre music making.
First off, Mikke says this thing is perfect for beginners. I call foul. I’ve seen kindergarteners with more musical talent than this keyboard has to offer. The illuminated keys are a nice touch, I’ll give it that. It’s like playing a game of Keyboard Simon Says – press the right key and you get a fun little light show! But let’s be real, who needs to learn actual music when you can just memorize a bunch of flashing lights?
And don’t even get me started on the Synthesia program. Because what every beginner needs is more screens to stare at while trying to make music. It’s like learning to play an instrument in a VR headset – Oh, I’m playing a C chord… or am I? Wait, no, that’s just the Oculus logo.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: But it’s easy to use! Oh, really? Because from where I’m sitting (on my couch, sipping a cold beer), it looks like a whole lot of confusion. I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put 61 keys on an instrument that’s supposed to be for beginners? It’s like trying to teach a toddler how to ride a unicycle while reciting the phone book.
And let’s not forget about the price. Mikke says it’s ok for the price, but I think he must have meant to say outrageous. I mean, you can get a decent keyboard that doesn’t look like it was designed by a kindergartener’s playgroup project for the same price.
In today’s news, X (formerly Twitter) is facing a $1.9M fine to lift its ban in Brazil. Now, I know what you’re thinking: What does this have to do with the Yamaha EZ-220? Well, let me tell you – both are examples of something that’s just not worth it. The fine for X is like paying $1.9M for a participation trophy (see what I did there?). And the Yamaha EZ-220 is like… well, it’s like paying $150 for a keyboard that’s only good for learning how to play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on repeat.
In conclusion, Mikke’s review of the Yamaha EZ-220 Keyboard was as useful as a chocolate teapot. It’s a mediocre instrument with a price tag that’s just not justified. Unless you’re a kindergartener or a desperate beginner who wants to learn how to play Who Let the Dogs Out? on repeat (just me?), I’d say give this keyboard a hard pass.

P.S. Mikke, if you’re reading this, can we trade your EZ-220 for a decent guitar?
