Korg Blimey

Advantages: Full-length, nice key action
Disadvantages: Not a real piano!

...near - I pair this Korg up with a Nord rack (better piano/organ sounds). On saying that, I will be using this Korg as part of a piano/vocal duo and know that it is light enough to be wheeled about in it's flight case (I'm a girl, the boys I know carry it with even more ease). If you're looking to replace a piano for gigs, this is a satisfactory substitute and much easier to transport! The piano sound is really quite nice for an electric piano, ...

Review of Korg SP-100

Excellent Master/Work station synth

Advantages: Sounds, Easy to use, evertyhing in 1
Disadvantages: slightly dated sounds

HI I am a prowd and happy owner of the Trinity, I purchased mine last year. This synth is an excellent all rounder, which caters for many styles, and has the perfect sound to create Dance, Pop, Classical genres of Music, as well as more Experemental Electronica, or sound track / film work. Some of the presets on this sound amazing, expecially when you layer them via Midi, it fits in the Mix perfectly, and I use this as my main Synth/Controller ...

Review of Korg Trinity Plus

Real Piano Substitute

Advantages: Has the feel of a real piano
Disadvantages: Could be louder

...one? Then opt for the Yamaha Clavinova. It has the look, feel, size and positioning of the real thing. Yet, it’s about half the price of a low end baby grand. I was blown away when I first sat down to play on it. I’m by no means a pianist but I have tried many keyboards in over the years and none that I’ve tried feel like the real thing. That is, until I tried the Clavinova. It isn’t bursting with features as many, and even the lowest end keyboards ...
...replacement. It sounds like a piano. It feels like a piano and it looks like a piano. You have volume control. You can record your performance (and play over it if you desire) and you can play with headphones on. A pretty useful feature if you have disapproving listeners whilst practicing. It also never needs tuning. This is a perfect solution to any household and it can easily be moved around inside the house if you can’t make your mind up on the ...

Review of Yamaha CLP230 Clavinova

Yamaha CP300

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

Yamaha CP300 sings better than its previous pianos. I compared it to some other pianos such as Bluthner, Bosendorfer, Bechstein, Technics PR900 and Yamaha P-150. Its features include MIDI/XG tone generator which is much more capable than the P-150, a detachable power lead and a panel lock which would not change the settings when you hit one of the buttons as it might happen with P-150, balanced XLR outputs, the half damping feature, comprehensive ...
...a multi-timbral tone generator. Unfortunately, Yamaha does not come supplied with a music rest. You can buy it as an accessory which would cost you about £30. You probably have to order it direct from Yamaha if it is not available at the music stores. Another accessory that you would have to purchase is a stand specially made by Yamaha to sit the instrument. It costs £150. However, you could use other suitable stands. I use a Quiklok X type stand. ...

Review of Yamaha CP300

Yamaha CP300 Stage PIano

Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port
Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4

...was never a fan of Yamaha acoustic pianos. So back in the 1980s it came as no surprise when their digital instruments failed to impress me. In my opinion Yamaha pianos sounded too 'wooden' at the top end. They had none of the 'singing' tones common to European pianos like Blüthner, Bösendorfer or Bechstein. However, after moving into an apartment in 1996 I was obliged to get a piano that took cans and chose a Technics PR900, which in my view was ...
...the store and got a Yamaha P-150 instead. Although this one didn't sound as good as the PR900 it only made the sounds it was supposed to make. Accordingly I lived with it for 12 years until earlier this year when an upgrade seemed due. As a result I now have a Yamaha CP300 and am, on the whole, delighted. I am pleased because, while still not a patch on the Technics PR900*, the CP300 'sings' a lot more than previous Yamaha pianos. And, of course, ...
