I am thinking of getting a newer digital piano with a better key action. The few models within my budget are the Roland FP140, Casio AP470,Korg LP 380. I also came across a used Kawai KDP 90 on an online selling platform.

But internal sound in KDP90 is way richer. <br />KDP90 is outstanding digital piano with limited features. I found luck of features a plus when learnng to play, there less distructions and more focus on actual performane. Excellent product!

My goal is to find a digital piano for my piano practice. So i care a lot about the key reaction, and hope it to be like acoustic ones as much as possible. I am a college student, so also want it to be easier to move if I change apartments. Would you give me some suggestions? Thank you!

Although I like the YDP162, the key "down weight" also know as "static touch weight," is unnaturally heavy and stiff as compared to the Kawai KDP90 in my opinion. The Yamaha does not have a key action which allows for natural comfortable playing, and I have talked about this issue in my Yamaha reviews. The Kawai key action has an impressive fully hammer weight and graded key action which allows for more technique driven key movement along with a wide range of tonal changes through the expression that is available with the Kawai KDP90 stereo piano sound chip. The Kawai KDP90 is also significantly cheaper (US dollars) in price than the Yamaha YDP162. Although the YDP162 has some very nice features and a few things that the Kawai does not have, I still prefer the Kawai for subtlety in expression along with smooth key movement. I also like the Roland RP401R even better, but that one sells for $1599US.Tim Praskins https://www.blogger.com/profile/03244773651407054659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-18939808225295309842015-09-27T13:06:12.737-07:002015-09-27T13:06:12.737-07:00Hi Tim, thanks for this review and it is amazing t...Hi Tim, thanks for this review and it is amazing that you take the time to respond to comments. I was wondering how heavy the keys on the KDP90 feel (in particular in relation to the Yamaha 162, which I like, and the Casio PX860, which I find a little too soft). I was also wondering whether the keys respond well to pressing them softly and loudly (pianissimo ad fortissimo). Can you get a lot of subtlety with this keyboard? I ask because I would be unable to try it before ordering (they are not stocked in any local stores), and your review makes me tempted to get one online!August and Afterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925859757984218152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-68688976209523174002015-07-21T08:20:25.155-07:002015-07-21T08:20:25.155-07:00they are completely different pianos for different...they are completely different pianos for different purposes.

The KDP 90 is strangely more expensive than the Roland 401R, and the latter is S $300 more expensive than the Roland 103R. I guess it make sense to gowith the 401R based on your reviews. Would you be ableto advise if the 401R and 103R are significantly different besides the compactness of teh 103R, e.g the 103R is easier to operate for a 6yo?

The CN-14 which IS sold here seems to have the exact same look and specs. Are they identical? And what about the CL-36? It seems to be an upgrade in some ways (RH action) and a downgrade in other (96-note polyphony). Any thoughts?

Whether or not your son can tell the difference or would need those upgrades is difficult to say. However if you can afford it then the CN24 would be a great way to go. At that point you might also consider the Kawai CE220 which is a good upgrade option as well and has more useful features as compared to the CN24. Roland also has an impressive new model called the RP401R which would be a good choice too. I have done reviews on all of those instruments.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00831013491936339468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-74244687776082752192014-08-19T01:29:52.806-07:002014-08-19T01:29:52.806-07:00Hi,
