My problem with digitals is not only the sound. Sure, I'd like one that really sounds like a Boesendorfer. But I can live with a sound "piano like" but nonetheless pleasing to me and audience. What I can NOT live with is an action that is difficult to control on fast, complex runs. I have a Clavinova, considered ( I've heard ) the most piano-like in terms of touch. But to compare it to a finely regulated grand would be a joke!!!! Thoughts? Does anyone make a better keyboard in terms of touch?
