Vintage D has developed a pedalling bug, and my acoustic has sounded awefull all weekend.
A 2008 keyboardmag review of the MP8ii describes its grand piano sound as "outstanding", "stellar", and "no compromise".

In other news, a large truck full of cheese has been ordered for the whine.

I quite like my Kawai CN33, but it's ugly from behind. (scraping the barrel here).

FP 7F, the keys bottom out too hard and jar the fingers.

If you bought the Kronos you could have sounded like Jordan Rudess.

After reading about problems with pianos costing close to $10.000 and even more, I've become happy with my lousy P85.

Ten thousand US$ is a seven digit figure in my currency.

Hey how heavy is the touch on your cn33, What would you rate 1-10?

my casio px-100 sounds like it's playing though a tin can

I believe Casio holds the patent on that technology, unfortunately.

I like how kawai didnt but anything above the keys, and put it on the side instead, it has a more traditional look

Are we dissing on our pianos? I'm in!

My MP8 has really heavy keys. Makes me tired and if I play a long time my fingers can actually start to hurt. Also fast repetitions are hard. And I don't like the sound. Irrelevant, since I use a software piano, though.

Vintage D...well, no problem with that. Well, it would be nice if it had a way to adjust the pedal response curve.

I have a problem with Kontakt, though...why doesn't it include a sequencer and audio recorder? I hate the fact that I have to use a VST host instead of just using the standalone player.

I see nobody has dogged the FP-7F yet in this thread, so I'll jump in...

I took it to a gig for the first time this weekend. Geez, it's heavy! And because of the lack of LEDs showing me where to put my fingers, I made a few mistakes.

All seriousness aside, it was great. The internal speakers were more than adequate for the gig, a wedding ceremony in a hotel ballroom with about 150 guests.


I'd rather be practicing wink

Ok, here we go. I also want to complain grin :

Roland HP-305's PHA II action is ridiculously noisy, repeated notes suck (shame I got short on budget and couldn't buy a 307 with PHA III instead) and the Ivory Feel keyboard is peeling frown
