Gary, I have a CVP 307, when I purchased it I pretty much played it as an arranger and a piano. But now with a Pa2xPro and an S900 I rarely play the the Clav as an arranger but play it as a piano. Up until 4 years ago I owned a Samick grand that required tuning and servicing at least twice a year when it was tuned and service it was a pleasure to play. But with New England humidity and changes of seasons sometimes it didn't sound so good. I eventually sold it to buy the CVP 307 and don't really miss the Samick. Never goes out of tune or requires service. When I play it as a piano I usually use the "Grand Piano 2" setting, it's reminiscent of what I remember Steinways to sound like. Of course it's been 30 plus years since I worked for the Steinway dealer and had the opportunity to play them daily so my memory may giving me false info
