I received preliminary info in the post from Bonners Music Superstore this morning

In brief the letter declares the following :

9 brand new SA voices including clarinet harmonica and saxophone , 2 extra buttons next to mod wheel for controlling SA effects (easier than using footswitch)

New piano from the latest Clavinova flagship

100 new rhythms , plus styles from previous instruments ALL re-programmed

New orchestral styles without drums

"doubling in capacity of sound generator" made the instrument sounds more stunning than ever at demo at Farankfurt music fair (presented by Martin Harris)

Oh yes price - estimated £3K-£4 depending on speakers (surround may be available - to be confirmed) expected to be in short supply in OCT/NOV in UK Bonners

All seems great , can't wait to hear one

I hope they keep the price down though!!

PS The statement does say , in so many words , it is their interpretation and could change - but usually for the better
