This stage piano is very cool: it's affordable, the hammered keyboard action is excellent and the piano sounds are superb. It does the typical job of a stage piano very well: it's solid and well built and yet not very heavy, the keyboard action is lovely, and the basic sounds (pianos, rhodes and organs) are very good. The rest (up to 64) are also good, but not top-of-the-line. I wish it had more acoustic piano sounds instead of a flute or analog brass, for instance. I would like also it had a midi thru terminal and another line-out, but it seems that both features are reserved to the top-line of stage pianos. But all things considered, it's an excellent piece of gear. Recommended.

Comments About the Sounds:
excellent acoustic pianos, rhodes and organs. The rest are OK, but not astounding.
