Hello,

In my regular music store they have a special offer on the Roland KF-7 stagepiano. According to them it's a real good alternative for an arranger keyboard. It has of course an 88 note weighted hammer action keybed. This particular model has 128-voice polyphony, 683 tones, 204 styles, style converter and style composer. It looks like you won't be missing out something on this instrument if you are an arranger player.

At € 2390.- or about $ 3100.- it sure looks like a nice offer. It has build in amplification and speakers, but it was demonstrated with a small Technics subwoofer. Since the speakers are a bit tiny I think it needs that. But boy, that ascoustic pianosample really sounded great!
I think I would only miss the pitch bender, but that can be dealth with by using an extra pedal.

My question however is about the piano action keybed. I'm not a pianoplayer, but I played it for a short while and think I could get used to it. Will this be a good thing for my playing technique, or do you guess it will only be a struggle if you never had pianolessons like me?

Thanks in advance for your advice!
