Congrats, 10fingers! Best wishes for many years of enjoyment.

Thank you all for your good wishes. I must admit it's a little pathetic the way I have been checking UPS tracking data just in case they move the delivery time up. (Although I know they just don't do that).



Yup, that's what I'm looking forward to: having three distinct SN pianos to play with.

One of my favourite ever piano sounds was the 'Mellow piano' on an old Emu Proformance piano module. It was just so woody, and the connection to keyboard seemed so good. No doubt these things are relative to what one is used to, and perhaps all its faults (pitiful 4Mb of samples, I believe) would be apparent if I heard it today, but that sound had so much character, I just loved it.

...one more day to go

10fingers,

Was wondering if you received the piano, as of yet?
(Several days have passed, since your post date.)

Do hope that you will have it very soon.

Thanks, pv. The reason I have been AWOL is that the piano arrived, and all I have time to say right now is

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Back to my den - I'll be posting a more in depth review when I can surface for more than 10 minutes.

A happy customer then! Congratulations

Glad to hear you finally received it... should be a very nice piano!

Congratulations 10fingers. You will love it as I do. I have one little gripe regarding the key tops though, I know it's been said before but the problem has not yet been resolved. My NX is 4 months old and the other day I noticed for the first time my middle C key top feeling a bit rough at the end of the note. In the daylight I see scratches on this and several other notes within a two octave area. My finger nails are extremely short (I'm a long time biter) I'm sure the problem is caused by the sides of both the thumb nails when they come in cotact with the key top. As I really rate this board I will live with this issue for now unless it gets much worse.

Maybe Roland outdid themselves in trying to re invent the wheel. I love the new action but plastic keys with no problems would have been fine for me. After all I had a RD700 for 7 years and I didn't mind the action or key top. (although the key tops did get quite moist playing a function under lights) Saying all the above I still don't regret the purchase though.
