The grand piano sounded absolutely awesome. Think I stick with my trusty old S950, though.

I wouldn't hold your breath for an 88 Pa4x, Bachus. But, who knows?

But when it comes to arranger playing, i want the buttons as close as possible to my main keyboard... And in the end, i have allways been looking for the perfect all in one solution... I think there is an unexplored market for 88 key blends of stage piano and totl arrangers.. If they can keep the weight acceptable... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Hammer action and light weight do not go together, as due to the weight of the keybed and the extra strength required of the housing. (A piano really gets a bashing) The nearest is the Bohm Silverbird which is available with a 76 note hammer action keybed. (But as mentioned above, not light) Enjoy Bill _________________________ English Riviera: Live entertainment, Real Ale, Great Scenery, Great Beaches, why would anyone want to live anywhere else (I�m definitely staying put).

abacus Senior Member Registered: 07/21/05 Posts: 5393 Loc: English Riviera, UK	If you are coming from a synth background the keyboards you mention are a good start to get a feel of piano playing, however they fall far short of what is required for proper piano playing, hence my comments still stand. Hope this clears up the confusion Bill _________________________ English Riviera: Live entertainment, Real Ale, Great Scenery, Great Beaches, why would anyone want to live anywhere else (I�m definitely staying put).
