GO:PIANO : Perfect for what I want

7 years ago

This is likely aimed at the beginners market and rightly so - it's battery powered and was (probably) bundled with tuition stuff. I like to play a few songs on piano at gigs and don't have a car so this was a compromise.

We all like weighted keys but unsurprisingly weighted keys equals weight. This is LIGHT!

I'm used to controller keyboards with pianoteq ran on logic so whilst the sound is not on that level - I definitely favour the sounds of this over the older Korgs and cheaper Yamaha's I've owned previously.

Comparing it to the similarly priced Yamaha NPs this has loads more features and I like that there are actually buttons rather than hold a function button and hit middle C or whatever.

The Bluetooth feature I think will be useful for me to wirelessly run background music from my phone whilst I'm at the bar on a break!

If I could change one thing it'd be to have control over the ratio of piano to strings rather than it just be one patch - but I'd still buy it again definitely - in fact I already have!
