General Reviews

Hi Graham,

I value your great information and findings about digital pianos. I have been looking and playing for several months now, in Australia and also in Singapore while I was there on holiday.

Oh boy - I could tell you some of my observations.....I now hate Roland digital pianos. I played many Yamahas - CPL and CPV and I really 100% prefer the Yamahas! I nearly bought the CLP - S308PE. It is very good - but I was a bit disappointed in the over bright tone and suprising lack of volume. I liked the CLP 340 - that was a good choice - but the speakers sounded slightly coloured. But still good - and better by far than any Roland I played!

Our music store here in Melbourne tried to sell me the lastest Roland (Sorry I don't know the number of it - but its the latest "thing" from Roland with built in speakers, not the VL) - with all the piano settings and such....but....I played it and it had a great bass tone. However, it was as CLUNKY as ever! The high notes in the treble sounded horrible. The top note C sounded like hitting a small drum! The action felt clunky too... the end of the key was a very hard hit..the "aftertouch" made no difference. Pity - as this should make a big difference. .How could Roland make this and try to get away with it? I don't know.

Well, I have found a Yamaha CPV 405, with all the bells and whistles - rhythms and tones etc...16 track sequencer.... etc... It has good speakers and they are in the front. The sound is very clear and uncoloured. It sounds really good. Clear and full of tone and warmth. The action is lovely. I like it. So I bought it at half price as it is the superseded model. A great deal! I will pick it up this week.

I will let you know how it all goes and how I rate it. I already have a 7 foot grand so this digital is just for teaching on and for me to play arrangements and for sequencing. If it's not perfect I don't care - but I like it better than any of the others.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Malcolm Smith

Bonjour Graham,

I am living in Albi, France (having been living also in England and in Germany, Finnish by nationality, so perhaps a "European" now). I greatly appreciated your opinions, ratings of pianos and analyses in the document "7 things you should know etc"  - You are absolutely right, it seems rather difficult to find neutral reviews on these matters

Hi Graham

I think you do a great job with your reviews, they are very helpful - it is a real maze when you are buying something like this!
