Finally bought a dp after a year of gathering info on here - 01/10/13 10:57 PM
so thank you all for your time that was spent talking about the pros and cons of various boards...it really helps to be a fly on the wall for the many conversations that have taken place on this forum regarding gear I am interested in.
In a perfect world -where gold equity stocks haven't tanks the past 7 months- I would be be playing the Roland Fp7F, ruining the faux ivory with my long finger nails and ruining my back lugging it around...but loving the action; however, I waited out the Yamaha P105 introduction and finally committed to the purchase today. I tried all the other boards from Yamaha p155 down, in all the different companies and decided I have nothing to lose buying the p105 (with upgraded pedal of course)-- that's a lot of piano for less than the price of my cheapest guitar.
I have been playing a 61 key yamaha spring action key for a year and a half (and spent lots of time at my sisters playing her Roland fp4, which I totally love) so it was time to commit to real piano action. I am fine with the substandard GH action because I suffer from carpal tunnel/tendonitis and the easier action is better for my hands; I also love the Eps and Organ more than the Fp4. I could go on and on about why it works for me but I will do it in the appropriate threads.
Anyways, a huge thank you to the members that spend the time to post their experiences with various keyboard: I honestly couldn't of made this purchase without your input. I am sure I will upgrade in the future - once gold is back to $1900+ and Barrick/Gold Corp aren't getting killed - so a Kawai Mp10 or FP7F is still in my future (maybe even a nx700 if gold goes to where I think it will be).
I amp kinda proud of the fact I learned to play on a piece of carp keyboard but man does the new one make me play/sound better. Back to playing!!!!!
Edit: was playing in my sleep so I got up and played from 2:30 until 5:00. Definitely very happy with purchase.
