Yeh i really want hammer action
Basically want acoustic piano , wurly and Rhodes for the most part so kinda want that wooden key weighted Rhodes feel.
I may find a synth too so that will more likely have waterfall key action

Do you play Piano, or just want to learn?

We have a full sized electric piano, weighted keys etc, cost about $1100 from Music Planet, a Korg somethingorother, I’ll try and find out the model, it’s at my mother in law’s atm, but it sounds perfectly fine, only has about 8 different sounds in it, I didn’t want any frills, just piano.

I might know someone selling a good one, I’ll check if it’s still available and give you the specs…

Actually, you don’t want one like mine, it’s only output is headphones I think, not even midi from memory, sounds good though, and keys are a little stiffer than an actual piano, but you just adapt…

I do play (ish)
Self taught from a young age
I own a piano but gave it to a friend when I moved to Aussie years ago (now back in nz )
I feel like I can’t really nab the piano back as he’s had it that long

Also I think a digital piano is much more likely to suit me

As much as I’d like to think I’ll much around with a lap top and midi sounds what I really want it something I can just sit down at and play

Happy to put it thru an amp so it doesn’t need speakers per se

I picked up a Korg G1 afew years ago. I really like it. Good piano sounds, built in speakers that are not naff, and a really nice hammer-action keyboard. Just turn it on and play.

Again, I really don't know what I'm doing with keyboards, but I really like this piano. And when I want to use it with my DAW, I just grab a MIDI cable.

Have you seen the Novation Diamond and Phoenix? No idea how much they cost or if they sound how you want them to - but they look fantastic

Thanks for those who have dipped into my for sale thread

It’s resulted in an entirely adequate interim stage piano until I decide on something premium

Absolutely love the aesthetics. I am not clued up on styles and aesthetics... is that art-deco-ish?
