Questions and Comments

Hi Graham

I am thinking of buying a stage piano and would like more advice and your opinion on the yamaha CP series – Have 1st downloaded your free digital piano guide which has been very interesting reading – – i am a flutist foremost, but a pianist secondly who swore she would never play on ‘digital’ keyboards. I love my own piano dearly (nearly more than my

flute) and have been playing for more years than i want to count, however turning up for a tango gig to find the upright a semitone flat and making do on a small wurlitzer instead opened my eyes to having to be more prepared – ie take my own instrument. Definitely need an 88 key for tango, but has to be portable – (not with fixed stand) – realise i must make a journey to civilisation to try some of these beasts out but just wanted to verify that i was on the right track in thinking about the yamaha cp series?

Grateful for your opinion

Kind regards

Suzanne

Reply/ Hi Suzanne

The Roland FP-7F is my favourite portable

piano (with built-in speakers).

The tone (which is sampled from a Steinway

concert grand) is rich, clear and vibrant.

The key touch is smooth and responsive.

Although a little noisy when playing with

headphones. But nothing much to worry

about really.

You can see this piano here:
