This high recomendation of Yamaha P80 by you and others has been a bit puzzeling for me.
1)The keyboard seems too stiff.
2)The higher notes seem too jingling-like a
good copy of a cheap upright piano sound.
3)The bass notes sound a little bit electronic.
4)I think the different notes are at different volumes-which is not a good thing.
So I really can't understand how a classical pianist could have any satisfaction from such a thing.
The p-80 has recently been available here in Israel, and I actually went to see it with intention of buying. But it also costs around $1600 after tax etc.(not like in America)
I can hardley imagine that the FP-9 of Roland would not be much better.But I have seen it myself. But I have seen some other Roland pianos which are clearly better than the Yamaha, I think the HP 335 of Roland though non portable is certainly better than the p-80 of Yamaha in most or all aspects, but is cheaper than the FP 9 which I was sure was better than the HP 335.
But best of all is surely the great KR 575.
If anything exists in portable form which is anything like the non-portable KR 575, then I can't imagine what anyone would want from the P-80
Maybe the FP 9 is!?
