I got my new AmericanMusicalSupply Catalog the other day, and I noticed that "Behringer" is now making digital pianos. Anyone know if Behringer is making these or did they contract with another known (big name)?

I ask that because I bought another set of desk top studio monitors...., and guess what..? They're the old Roland Micro-Monitors, only they have the Behringer name. Maybe Behringer contracted with Roland for their digitals (boy that would be nice). The model in this catalog has 32mb's Rom to only 14 sounds too

Here's a link.. Nice looking piano and the price isn't bad either (real questions though.. How does it sound, and how is the action?).

This link below is there "very affordable" desk top monitors. Have a close look..., they're the old Roland Micro-Monitor (exactly to specs too, just with a different name).

Squeak ..Roland sued Behringer for trademark/patten infringement[Boss pedals]..They settled out of court..
I find it hard to believe Roland would be in bed with Behringer..

Maybe Roland closed out the Micro series, and Behringer bought the option..I don't think you will see Roland's name attached..I don't think Behringer has the quality associated with Roland..

The new CEO at Behringer is a smart marketing guy, and he is releasing many new products including Digital piano..
