Hi Gary, That's quite an accomplishment as those classical types in general don't want anything to do with keyboards, especially 61 note keyboards. I played a PSR 3000 at Sam Ash's in New York a few months ago and while I liked the sounds, I wasn't happy with the touch. Last week I played a Tyros 2 at Keyboard City and the touch was much more to my liking. You must have done a supurb job of EQing to please this pianist. By the way I know the St. Andrews Society and you were very kind in your assessment of their affair. Salud, Joe ------------------ Songman55 Joe Ayala

Great post Gary!! I am sure your point is not just aplicable to the PSR 3000 piano sounds, but other sounds as well.
Also, with all of the top arrangers on the market, (Tyros 2, Genesys S, G70, PA1X, SD1, Mediastation 76 and Worsi), the ability to change sounds to one's liking, is common and necessary. That is why I believe that none of the manufacturers are leading in the quality of sound aspect of keyboards, its just a matter of the subjectivity and personal likes and dislikes of different users.
With respect to the redhead, I am sure there would be know subjectivity issues about her!!!!

Good post. I would like to add, (with the risk of being banned by purists) that most todays piano keyboards do sound better as the real thing, as long as you have a good soundsystem.
Approx 8 years ago I would say only the kurzweil boards were spot on, but today all top boards have excellent piano sounds on board and are allways in tune, unlike the real piano's which frankly need tuning after each concert...
The only thing missing between the acoustic piano and digital piano could be character, but you only hear that if played solo.
The difference between the digital top boards is only a matter of taste , just like with the real acoustic ones... You can't say anymore this one is better as that one. Most of them are spot on and better in tune then most acoustics.
My opinion only ofcourse but I couldn't resist to comment on this one.
