- When I was shopping for a digital piano a couple of months ago, I
- tried the Clavinova in the store and hated the way it felt -- the
- action was much stiffer than any of the "real" pianos I've played
- regularly before. (None of them were really professional-quality
- instruments, however -- the last one I owned was an ancient Baldwin
- Acrosonic.) Anyway, I ended up getting a Yamaha YPP-50 instead,
- which felt more comfortable for me than any of the other ones I tried,
- but still not quite the same as a "real" piano.
-
- As to whether practicing on a Clavinova is a bad idea -- I wouldn't
- worry too much if it's just a hobby for the kids. You might consider
- trading in the Clavinova for another model the kids like better, though.
