One of the best stage pianos
I purchased this keyboard back in 2009. I had performed on Yamaha P-200, P-250, and wanted one for myself. It has the best sound and feel for a classically trained pianist. Because of the realistic hammer action and speakers, it is quite a bit heavier, but it is worth it. Having the USB output was also handy for connecting to DAWs.
