I finally could afford "the beast" (several months I squinted over ...

UTILIZATION

The keyboard is the first where I feel the material, one wants to touch and play (I have a CVP 405, one of my children at the DGX 640, j 'also have an acoustic piano U3 ...). At the touch is not the U3, but it's much better than the others ...

What I like least:
- Too bad there have not had a small internal amplification as the CP300 ...
- Unfortunate that we should also put their hands in monaie for the desk top that fits!

For now I put 8 / 10, because I discovered ... To be continued!
