While I love my Yamaha C7 acoustic piano, I am very pleased to now play on my Kurzweil when an acoustic piano is not available. Of course, the B3 Hammond sounds were a bonus. While the weight of the unit is heavier than I had hoped for, I was delighted with the condition of the unit and most importantly,the wonderful Kurzweil piano sounds. After comunicating with the seller, who proved to be extremely accomodating, I bought the unit, which traveled 3,000 miles via UPS to my home. knowing it was an older model, I did find a used one on Ebay that according to the seller, was in excellent shape and hardly used. On blind faith, I started looking around for a Kurzweil PC2x. previously, I had tried other name brand keyboards but was not satisfied with the piano sounds that they produced. It's good to stay on top of these things and a recommendation from you is very valuable to me.Kurzweil Keyboard lives up to its reputation!ДЄs a jazz Pianist, accustomed to playing on acoustic pianos, one of my closest friends, who is also a piano player, recommended the Kurzweil PC2x, when I was inquiring about an electronic keyboard that had excellent Piano sounds. I'm curious how the Roland compares in these regards and will see if I can find out. The velocity is adjustable, as are the effects - which are NOT remembered at power down. So I'm w/o a volume pedal with that instrument. OK, if you're going to set it up and leave it, but not road worthy AT ALL. There is a 'soft/sostenuto pedal' you can buy from Korg dealers for about $50, but the connection is via a small plastic cable connector with the wires just pinched in a small white plastic 'locking' connector that is recessed and VERY difficult to remove. On the down side, the instrument does NOT have an input for a volume or CV pedal. The built-in speakers act as my stage monitor. It also has a line in and that gets mixed into the speakers as well as the output, so when I use a two keyboard rig I don't need a mixer, just a line to the PA or house. The dealer never went into detail about the instrument, but I should add that the Korg has a headphone out (which mutes the excellent built in speakers) and also has a line and main outs, which DON'T mute the speakers. Of course it HAS TO sound great and feel great and the Korg also delivers there. After that, other features come into play. One thing that is a factor (not critical, but certainly a consideration) is the overall weight of the instrument and ease (speed) of setup. I'm excited for you and your daughter, and I'm very interested to try out the Roland. Sampling technology has improved over the past decade, as has action.

The Korg isn't quite as nice as the PC2 but it's way better than the PC88 and very capable in a variety of pro settings, at least for piano work. I've had several electric pianos, mostly from Kurzweil (PC88, PC2, etc) at about $2500 each. You are correct, things have come a very long way in these instruments. I won't go into the reasons except to say that they were inferior in both sound and touch. I had bought three electric pianos that week and returned two of them. I don't know that instrument, but bought a Korg SP-280 last year. Interested in hearing others' opinions about the Juno DS88.

It also has a handy expression pedal input for real time control of. She's a concert pianist/guitarist, who sings originals and foreign language songs.

But I'd like to think that it's easy enough to use that she will start experimenting and doing interesting things with it. If she never uses a button on it, and just plays piano with it, it's $900 well spent.

Seems to have a lot of synth-top real-estate devoted to making patterns and using them creatively. I mean, I'm not a total idiot I know a good keyboard when I see it and play it, but I don't know the extent of what this thing will do. Have things just gotten that much better for the price? I confess to buying this at a store, not really doing my homework in advance, but just trying out a couple dozen keyboards. Is this a mid-range pro-instrument? High-end amateur? I mean, it cost a fraction of what I paid for the Kurzweil, 15 years ago. anyone who knows about this stuff, tell me what I got. So you can imagine where my head is at, gear-wise. With the Kurzweil 2600, that's going on 15 years now. I buy what I need, then forget about it until it breaks. It's even better than my Kurzweil 2600, though things have probably come a long way since then. I don't think I've ever played a more natural-feeling piano keyboard on a synth. I spent a few hours at her apartment today waiting for it to be delivered, as she had to work, and once it came, I set it up and played it. I bought a Roland Juno DS88 keyboard for my daughter.
