    i think the digitals have reached a point where they can be compared to an upright or a small baby grand.The Sk sounds way richer than the digital,when you played those bass notes there was no comparison at all with the digital.

    Hello. I am planning to buy a grand piano, but I am currently thinking about between the new Kawai gl-10 and ge-20 used. The status of the ge-20 is class a. The price difference between the two models is not significant either. Can you tell me the difference between the two models and which one should I buy? Thank you.

    Is this Ca99 suitable for classical music diploma exam level?? Or not enough?

    • @sonicboyPT
      @sonicboyPT 2 роки тому

      i would be 99% sure it is, with the plus of allowing you to practice anytime of the day, so more practicing... But i would recommend practicing at least once on a similar piano to the one of the exam. A big difference i notice in acoustic, being very used to digitals, is the fixed loud volume and increased dynamic range. At home I tend to play low volume and everytime i try an acoustic im intimidated by its loudness, but that uncompromising loudness ofters more choice of dynamics approach, specially playing much softer and with less pedal than i tend to do on digital.

    Beautiful playing, thank you for the demonstration! If I might ask, do you think the CA79 is justified in being twice the price of the CN39? I haven't had a chance to try either due to lockdown, I realise the CA79 has the wooden keys, touchscreen, and a lot more amplifier welly (50W X 2) but it also has far fewer sounds. I'm drawn to it mainly because I understand it's been tweaked to increase durability. I'd be playing mainly with headphones, so I'm just wondering if you've had a chance to play both, do you think the sound/action difference justifies the price jump?

      I think this piano has a contact pickup on the back so that the sound is not spoiled by the acoustics of the room. That's why the sound of the piano is so sterile.

Bought Sauter in the end, wasn't enough difference in it to justify the enormous price differential.
