Looks very nice, but I’m surprised that it doesn’t have a MIDI interface or audio outputs (except for the headphone jacks) and that the only model in that line that does costs $1,000 more.

Also, I’m peeved that Yamaha still doesn’t recognize the existence of Android. The cool-looking Smart Pianist app is only available on IOS. The same was true of the controller app for my Disklavier, and although my wife has always had an iPhone, I wasn’t going to use hers or buy myself one just to control the piano.

I hope your daughter enjoys her new instrument!
