- Two insightful comments by Ed Hassell:
- Suggests the Yamaha P-515:
- L-515 wooden console stand and LP-1 three-pedal assembly
- Yamaha's top-of-the-line keyboard action (the same one in their $15-20K clavinova models)
- Acoustically sampled concert grand piano sound, including the Bosendorfer Grand Imperial (as well as the Yamaha 9-foot CFX)
- Released in Fall 2018
- Criticizes Wirecutter staff for inconsistent limiting of models to console digital pianos
- Categorizes:
- Keyboard toys
- Keyboards with actions simulating their acoustic counterparts and with integrated sound systems which are not integral to their attached or detachable console stands
- Keyboards in which the sound system is integral to the stand/case in which they are housed (e.g., Yamaha's Clavinova series)
- Keyboards intended for use with external sound systems (i.e., stage instruments)
Suggestion to get a subwoofer to improve feel from bass keys:
