2666.0. "Electric Piano Recommendations?" by FILTON::ROBINSON_M (Nobody expects the SPANISH Inquisition!) Mon Jun 17 1991 13:50

    I'm looking for an electronic piano.
    
    My wife is highly musical, and has been asking about getting a piano. 
    I don't want a heavy great thing, in a small house, and I don't like
    hearing people practise.  
    
    What I want is a REAL PIANO with headphones, that will satisfy her
    musical bent, and be unobtrusive for me.
    
    Does anybody out there know anything about how good modern electric
    pianos are?  What features should I look for? HOW MUCH ��?
    
    I have no idea what the current market is like; I used to build
    synthesizers in the late 70's, and understand the concepts of polyphony
    and so on.
    
    I would live to hear from anyone who uses such a thing, and can offer
    recommendations.
