NPD!

[Gahr]

Inspired by Kerry's new keyboard thread, I figured I might as well post a new piano thread myself. I just picked up a brand new Roland FP-30 digital piano from my local music shop. I got a 10 % discount, so I'm fairly happy with the deal. They didn't have the legs I wanted for it in the store, but they'll call me when they get the next shipment from Roland, and let me borrow a stand in the meantime. I quit playing the piano when I was 12 years old, and my wrists are aching already after playing for only 15 minutes! I guess I need to be a bit careful in the beginning... It has some nice sounds; three different grand pianos and a selection of electric pianos among other things. I am certainly no expert on these things, but it sounds ok to me. The keys feel nice as well. They have a faux ivory coating making them feel very authentic. Certainly a lot better than the Hupfeld upright we had at home when I was a kid. I will never be a pianist, but I'm looking forward to filing around with some chords. And the wife is happy!

Using headphones or the built in speakers for now. I’m not going to be playing very loudly at home anyway.

It is never a bad thing to stretch your musical horizon. Congrats on a great keyboard.

Congratulations on your new piano, we have a Roland
RD 150 in the garage.
I need to get a power cable for it, my grandson is the one who plays it.
I have never played with keys.
Cheers

very nice --- and the view when playing looks to better than the average WALL most have to look at

Speaking of the view... why don't you have any snow?

 

[CabanaBoy]

Deep Purple had some great keys...

 

[Mitch Pearrow SJMP]

In my opinion the very best keys in a hard rock format

 

[67plexi]

I have this Korg

 

[Trident]

I like the Triton, I have both the M-50 and the M-3 Korg...They are quite fun..

Congrats!
Always wanted to learn some piano too.
And sax, and drums, and harmonica (gotta get back to that), and bass, and violin, and banjo, and trumpet, etc.
