Hello again,

I must say that after I made my piece with the fact that I’d probably need to use two keyboards after all (one as an arranger and one as piano), the choice was rather simple:



For less than $1K it seems like the only option to get a lot of keys (76), not heavy ones, in a lightweight body (15 lbs). I tried it several times at store and decided that piano voice was rather decent.

A pleasant surprise was that at axial.roland.com there was an expansion with additional piano sound (EXP-09). It has 4 stage velocity switching, which, I believe, is the same number as Yamaha P-121/125 has.

So far I’m still adjusting to a new keybed and new sounds. It brought back to me feelings I had when I played an acoustic piano. So far I’m fully devoted to it;

I plan to show you other voices later. It was not only a piano voice which I was after, but also electric piano voices; so there’re things to share.
