Sounds like a fun project. From what James says, though, I think Kawai will have a three pedal unit soon enough. Good times for sostenuto users!

I'm not a pop piano player, in which genre I would totally agree with you that sostenuto is RARELY, if ever, needed.
Curt In 25 years I can't think of a song that's required it, in fact I don't believe I've ever used it in a pop/rock song.

I'm getting an MP6 for Christmas. I've been thinking about getting an F20 to go with it (comes standard with MP10, optional with MP6). When I searched it on Google, one of the internet merchant sites said "This item has been discontinued".
Now, I'm sure Kawai James is bound by company rules not to say anything for fear of invoking the Osborne effect, but ya gotta think that little wink emoticon meant something. Assuming that bit of info is correct (i.e., the F20 is discontinued) ya gotta think that no company is gonna discontinue something if a replacement is not in the works.
So James, I understand you can't really say anything right now. Not asking you to--you're too valuable a resource on this forum, and we don't want you to get in hot water with the suits. Just mention to the powers that be that IF an F30 is in the works (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more), it sure would make sense for it to be compatible with the MP6, and to create whatever software/firmware updates it takes to make that work well with the MP6.

I think some members have been a little too demanding of James lately. We are very lucky to have somebody in his position on the forum and I don't think we should push our luck by expecting him to answer warranty complaints and be the conveyor of all our desires to the product development team. I understand why people are asking, but I'm just concerned that this might make this a pressurised place for James to come and visit if we don't set some limits. Personally, I think we should confine our questions for James to current Kawai products, and let him volunteer what he wants and can about future products.

When I searched it on Google, one of the internet merchant sites said "This item has been discontinued". Perhaps that particular internet merchant is incorrect? Cheers, James x
