Rikki,

The foot print really is quite a bit smaller than a 5 foot baby grand.

I have a CVP307 and I can’t imagine that the piano would be that much better on the CVP709. I don’t know that to be a fact just what my ears heard that day with the piano portion of the 709.

P.S. Baartman’s tells me his favorite music is classical and that’s what his car radio is tuned to.
