I guess I wasn't very clear. I'm fighting folks who want me to use the Yamaha grand that is in place. At the least, they want a piano in a black wooden case with legs. They want to minimize
the number of cords, amps, etc.

I want a piano action. 75% of the work will be piano only. Occasionally, I'll need the piano and a bass line and some percussion. That I'll get from the arranger. Occasionally, I'll work as a trio with piano and/or guitar, bass and drums.
For less formal events, I'll use the arranger, with additional amplification.


Looks are important. That's why a Bose and even a Midjay would not work.

The piano I'm looking for may not exist. It needs to have a good piano action, be attractive, have a 100 watt internal amplifier AND be 76 notes. I'll probably have to use an 88, which will be OK.

I'm looking at some Yamaha digitals today. I've used one at another regular job for several years, and have found the action to be acceptable. I have a neat little rig composed of a small 4 channel mixer to accommodate the mike, guitars and synth or arranger, when it is needed, which is rarely.

I'm ordering the Roland arranger this morning.
