- (stuff about Clavinova deleted for brevity)
-
- Recently my wife (who is taking piano lessons) went out to purchase an
- "electrnoic Piano" (to differentiate from the little "synthesizers" that you
- can snag for a couple hundred bucks) and looked at a fairly pricey
- Clavinova, don't recall the model number.
-
- In a word, both in feel and sound quality, she thought it sucked for the
- outrageous price of the thing. I'm not a player and am more involved with
- the "sound" of things, and I thought the output had zippo, nada, zilch
- when it came to presence or brilliance. The Clavinova just had a very
- "flat" sort of sound, like its bandwidth was WAY too narrow.
-
- In the end run, she bought a Roland EP7. The "Price-vs-Quality" was
- WAY better, it seemed better built and had a tremendously better sound
- to it. The dealer gave her a pretty good deal and threw in about an
- extra $50 or $75 worth of stuff.
-
- In all, we looked at 2 or 3 different Clavinovas and they all stunk.
