I am excited that with all the new technology, touch screen, huge amount of memory plus so much more that Yamaha was able to maintain the same price.


Well, no matter how good it is, & I'm sure a lot of early adopters will buy it. It will be just too high a price for me. This pricing is way out of hand, even the Montage is way less in price.


I know there's inflation but to think in 2004 I bought a Clavinova CVP 307 for $4500. In '89 I purchased a Samick 5 foot 10 inch grand piano for $6000, not only did I get 2 outstanding instruments but they are pieces of furniture. Disclaimer: I sold the grand piano about 8 years ago and I did work for a music dealer in the 70s who I remained friends with, I got a deep discount.
