Graham, it certainly does look cool, and it sounds great from the demos I've heard.

Here is one of my favorite demo guys, Katsunori Ujiie (it's in Japanese, but has excellent English captions) giving it a go.

I don't think it will load new sounds, but for my purposes, that won't matter, as it will also be used to control my Tyros4, which has oodles of sound options.

Primarily, I like the flat top, and, how it sounds basically out of the box, which is how Ujiie is playing it.

I like his enthusiastic, but unbiased approach to each keyboard he tries out.

I may also look at the new Yamaha CP4 Digital piano which he also tests elsewhere on his site (also with captions) and appeared thoroughly knocked out by it.

I'm hoping the Waldorf will be distributed here in Canada...I'm asking around.

Maybe Frankie or George could give us some info about US?
