Reviews

Firstly, I had decided from the outset that I wanted a digital piano because having achieved piano Grade 6 at school some 30 years ago (and having not played since) I do remember that I became easily bored with the instrument and knew that a digital piano would be the solution to retaining my interest if I were to take up playing music again.

It was Graham Howard’s clear, impartial and considered review of the various digital pianos on offer in the market, and the excellent video by Peter Baartmans demo of Yamaha (from the internet) that convinced me to buy a Yamaha over that of say, Roland. I wanted a quality instrument that would last and had a decent specification so to avoid an urge to upgrade to a more sophisticated model after only a short space of time. After trialling various Roland and Yamaha I chose a Yamaha Clavinova CVP409PE. This piano stood out over the Roland in looks, features, quality of construction, graded hammer keyboard feel and most importantly overall realism of sound. Having now owned it for three weeks I am absolutely enthralled with it and am convinced I made the right choice.
