I bought the sheet music for my son a few years ago. He loved it. He played He's a Pirate first and Black Pearl second. Great technical study in contrasting rhythms.

One telling way is to strum the undamped notes in the treble with a guitar plectrum...just don't drop it under the strings! These notes should ring out clearly if the soundboard is good.

I have not played the specific model that you mention, but I have played a couple of "baby grand" Suzuki Digital Pianos, one new and one pre-owned, and I personally found them extremely expensive compared to the low quality of sound and act

anna m, the Yamaha CLP-340 is a very popular digital piano among users on this forum due to its strong price:performance ratio. However I am also inclined to agree with susanmusic: consider purchasing a budget digital piano such as the Privia PX-130

I got a surprising deal on the L-140 stand a few weeks ago. I called the Guitar Center near me, asked if they had any in stock, and was told, "Yes, and we're getting rid of them. We've marked them down to $40." She said it was because

I DO love my piano - especially now that she's got a Dampp Chaser and doesn't do that funny buzzy sound (cracked soundboard) on chilly mornings before my heater warms up.
