In my music store, the PSR172 is the only Yamaha I choose not to sell. The keys are not touch sensitive and I don't think that any keyboard out there should be without touch sensitivity as an option. Also, if you plan to hear the same sounds on this board as say the DGX300 or PSR2100, you will not. I would suggest at least the PSR292, which sells here for $229.00 with the survival kit (AC adapter, sustain pedal, headphones, and 2 year extended warranty) as a starting keyboard.
