If you read my initial comments on this piano Squeak, you'd realize I was pretty excited about it.
http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum37/HTML/018962.html I don't care what name is on the product...I use what suits my needs...I would definitely buy a Roland or Korg if I felt my personal playing needs required it...I don't have to stick solely with Yamaha because I do a few clinics and demos for them.
I'm considering several products made by other manufacturers...the Nord C1, the Hammond XK1 to name a few.
After some consideration, and a dose of reality, I realized the V-Piano would not be for me, no matter how much I love playing the piano.
It's not practical at all...would you drag around one of these things by yourself?
I'm considering a CP-33 to replace my CP-300, instead of a P85(no wheels).
Am I "mad"? Maybe in the sanity sense, Squeak

, but seeing an such an innovative product by Roland only means one thing...competition always improves the breed.
Nothing wrong with that.
