Bill, Joe is right about real pianos. That being said, I have a Yamaha Clavinova at home (good sound, piano action and low/no maintenance).

It looks great and sounds fine for practice and as a room addition.

Part of the contract I have with a local club was to provide a Yamaha digital for my use. I could not work with the wooden pianos they had (tuning problems).

Now, the old B-3 is another issue: major upkeep. the Nord sounds really good and is maintenance free.

But, it "ain't a B-3".


Good luck; whatever you get.
