Roland F130R
http://www.roland.com/products/en/F-130R/ I tested it last week, really not bad in terms of action and sound. But why digital? With that budget you can easily get a recond Kawai upright grand, which frankly, a much better tool for learning than digitals. This post has been edited by pipedream: Aug 26 2014, 08:58 PM |

QUOTE(juicyliana @ Aug 27 2014, 12:59 PM) Ya, I think a upright piano is better than digital. I guess shops is better since they provide warranty and probably checked in detail, shouldn't be much problem. But if you are scared, you can always find a luthier to accompany you while purchasing, check for cracks in wood etc.Buying a recond unit from shops is better or buy a used from end user? I saw a few uprights for sale on mudah but worried that I will be buying someone's problem. |

QUOTE(maltrone @ Aug 27 2014, 07:24 PM) Guys, I'm looking at getting one for the missus. She's a very good pianist, but forego her old upright when we moved in to a small apartment together. So, I'm looking at a good digital as a surprise. Yes, very important. Question. Is the key "touch" or "feel" really that important to you pianists? I'm not talking about beginners, but rather the more seasoned ones (and for someone moving from an upright). So far, we've seen the Yamaha CLP-535 and she likes the "touch". If I recall correctly, it's around the region of 5.5k. I saw some comments above about Roland (the RP401R seems right around the same price). Is the feeling similar between both models? Different manufacturers has different version of the key "touch" or action. And the playability varies amongst individuals, it is best to choose whatever your missus likes. Having said that, both models are superb choices (on the light side like an upright). But I would be more interested in the CLP-535, mainly from the Bosendorfer sound samples it comes with  This post has been edited by pipedream: Aug 27 2014, 08:43 PM |
