Gosh - fond memories (albeit a bit hazy)...

The first ever LP I bought was "Made in Japan" - but Machine Head is something special - Lazy is a great bit of keyboard playing...

No, Stairway to Heaven drunk (etc) is my usual experience with guitars and they all sound the same at that stage, and smell of vindaloo too...

Hence your warnings about buying an unheard piano. I'm surprised sound boards have not been replaced with techo-wizard designed-for the-purpose materials, but then again it's nice that nature still knows more about pianos than we do...

OK, Thanks. I have still have tuning and voicing as part of the deal to be done at some point...

I was told of a situation last week with a GC1 grand. A client liked one in Dealer A's showroom, bought one from Discount Dealer B for 1K less, and cheekily paid Dealer A's (freelance) technician to come and regulate and voice it in the same way that he'd done for Dealer A. After a morning's expert...

No - I find it hard to play pp or ppp on it at anything other than dead slow but no repeated notes. I'm noticing it I think because maybe my legato has become sloppy playing the digital for a year - for example when playing CBC say, the first C is sometimes not fully up by the time I play it again.....

The key stops at about 80% down key travel - feels spongy then as if you're putting pressure on something you should not be... the hammer and damper are slightly out of their rest positions at this point.
