However, even then, I doubt this would match the volume potential of an acoustic. Cheers, James x Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own.

James x I keep my Yamaha DP master volume low enough that I don't get that very abrupt percussive start to the note. I don't know what you call that kind of distortion. It's not the usual timbre variation you'd see with speakers. gotta go practice
