It's probably never going on stage but I'm thrilled to just improvise some soundtrack music at home. This edged it's way over the Yamaha CP73 & Nord due to price, having onboard speakers and the nice user controls.

I used to have an upright for a year aged 21 and a Rhodes MKII 10 years ago but both were neither a grand nor a Wurly. 

This does both, has great effects/interface and looks stunning.

I learned Joni's Woodstock this week and am messing with loads of fun big chords and modulations.

Happy days.

But there are 15 keys missing! It wouldn't be allowed here (because my wife is a classical pianist and piano teacher).

Hahaha, the missing keys are like frets 19 through 24 on a guitar for most of us.

I prefer the smaller size irrespective of price, it already weighs 19kg!

I'm very envious, one of this series has been on my wanted list for ages - I'm a wedding pianist which mostly just calls for my "normal" digital piano but if i were to get more singing gigs as I'm trying to, something like that would be worth its considerable weight in gold for my enjoyment purposes.

Enjoy!
Nice… 

On the hunt for a new stage piano myself.. CK88, RD88, Korg & Casio all on the radar.  Need/prefer 88 and a good action.

Quite the rabbit hole.

How does the Korg piano compare? Not played that one yet.

Looks wonderful!

I keep meaning to pick up a cheap, compact, home ePiano just for larks. I'm a totally useless player but it's just so nice to be able to bash out a few piano chords.

Something with onboard speakers is what I'm after as the whole point is not to have to arse about turning a computer on, setting up a DAW, loading plugins etc. etc.
