Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I was only pointing out that even a cheap Casio's ACOUSTIC piano sample will sound more similar to an acoustic piano than a Yamaha CP-70 ever can, not that the Casio's sound will be particularly high-quality! Yes, the CP-70 is an incredibly cool vintage piano, and it has a very usable and classic sound. Check out my "Hall of Electric Pianos" website for more info about vintage electric pianos than you ever knew existed! www.alphabeck.co.uk/hoep/epianos.html

  Sorry, I couldn't resist. I do have to point out that the CP70 is a way 
  much cooler instrument than those you mention... though I have to admit 
  that I have not yet run across one of those cheap Casios with the realistic 
  piano samples.

  Also, the thought of playing "organ" on a "piano action" keyboard makes me 
  shudder. :-?
