It is just a design philosophy - remember that the most of the potential buyers will be looking for a home digital piano which will serve as a pleasant looking piece of furniture as well
Well, but they're SELLING it as a "PORTABLE grand." It's right in the name!
Do you suppose they have another definition of "portable" in Japan? Maybe they think portable just means "liftable," or something???
Just another reason to like my DGX-305 more and more - its as light as a feather and is still a nice looking piece of furniture.
I'm glad you love it, but it wouldn't work for me at all. 76 keys would cut my repertoire at least 70%, and there is no control with synth action.
