Squeak, my apologies if I have already asked you this...

Have you tried the Casio PX-5S?

I'm strongly thinking of getting one to use to compliment my Tyros4, so I'm wondering if you have had a chance to try one out?

There are none here at our local music store, but I'm planning a trip to the mainland after the worst of the winter, so I'll be able to see one then.

It has some awesome features (arpeggiator, 4-zone controller capabilities, phrase sequencer etc.), and the price seems very, very reasonable for what you get. Plus it sounds incredible in the demos at least.

Lots of real time tweaks via knobs and sliders and a great feeling 88 note weighted keyboard, so you could do your piano stuff in style.

Dreamer, here on SZ, has one and loves it, and I have heard a lot of other positive reviews on other forums as well.

What do ya think?

Ian
