Re: Nobody got fired for buying IBM (Yamaha)

That was the boast of IBM before the competition got organised. Could the same be said of Yamaha? Well. not really. Yamaha are cheap and cheerful, good build quality etc and as sound is subjective you can't really say who is better or not. They have a huge market selling to unwashed masses that can...

Re: Advice needed for buying a Digital Piano!!!

Hello all..... What she cares most is a good and convincing piano sound and good keys action,she doesn't care about extra sounds or fancy technical stuff. It's really subjective. Gem, Yamaha, roland, kawai, technics all make digital pianos, some like one, some like others. Straw polls will show you...

Re: Should I buy a Yamaha CLP115?

Well after much deliberation I have decided to get a more expensive digital piano and stretch my credit card to its limits. I have found a Yamaha CLP115 for £700 and this seems like a good model for my daughter (grade 3) and myself (grade 7). I'd say no - but this is my humble opinion tha...

A440, speaking personally, I've pretty much decided to get digitals at least until I'm a lot better. When I do, of course, I shall get the helpful advice from the tech who goes with me not the dealer - as honest as I'm sure you are :) The main thing that got my goat was the supposed added value w.r....

Gosh, this is all SO familiar! The business I am in, we sell (amongst other things) GPS navigation and radio equipment to pilots and aircraft owners. I think that's a better analogy with Digital Pianos. Since although there may be problems, there isn't the de facto "This product is great / but...

I suppose the question is, have Yamaha taken over from Steinway as the performance piano for the up and coming generation. I think the answer must be yes. Hmm, Elton / Annie et al are hardly up and coming :) The more up and coming appeared to have digitals [mebbe some were synths, but I'm sure a co...
