A few years back I played a cocktail hour at a wedding and I explained to the customer I can use an arranger and explained basically how it would sound. The bride's mother said NO, we want strictly piano, so that's what I did. Fortunately the Crowne Plaza had a very well maintained grand piano.


I'd been trained as a pianist and always felt more comfortable at a piano, I found it easier to play more expressively on piano than an arranger. Based on posts here by a couple of guys who purchased the Roland Fp90 I got on this kick that maybe I'd enjoy one and it get me back to spending more time on pIano. No one has an FP90 to demo and I just don't want to buy one without playing one..........fast foward to this morning when I remembered I had a Casio Privia PX400R that has been in storage in a gig bag for the last 7 years. I set it up and gotta say for a $499 instrument ( purchased about 10 years ago) it's decent albeit the keys being a little noisy as Beakybird wrote in another post about pianos.

I'm not really sure what my point is but I don't think I'll buy an FP90, at least not today.
