(I mean like a real acoustic piano) . I hope you see this question because ive searched in other sites and in this site as weel and i cant find an exact answear.Have a nice day and thank you again for such a wonderfull site!AvstrakThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00802929220675953112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-21140638260484301102017-03-22T09:05:42.983-07:002017-03-22T09:05:42.983-07:00Thank you very much for your excellent review of t...Thank you very much for your excellent review of the PX-860! I have read that the pedals on this piano are slightly shorter than normal and I'm curious about your opinion about the ways (if any) in which the pedaling experience is affected. What do you think of the build quality of the PX-860 compared to that of the the Yamaha YDP series and perhaps the Roland RP series?

I am considering a digital piano in the $1000 range. Like you, I am mainly considered with key feel and realism to a grand. I am a beginner, playing for about 6 months now with lessons. I have had the pleasure of playing much of my time on a Steinway grand and have fallen in love with it. This Grand piano is at my church and I need something at home.<br /><br />I am definitely not at a point in my life where it will be an option for me to purchase such an instrument, but maybe hope to get close with a digital.<br /><br />So far, I have read your reviews for Kawai KDP90, Casio PX860 and<br />Yamaha YDP 143.<br /><br />Out of the 3, which would you say has the best key feel and is the closest feeling to the action and feel of a grand piano? My thoughts are that it could be the Casio, but just wanted to get your opinion.<br /><br />I would also like to play the different models at a store to compare them, which I am seeking to do.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822612400805812613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-87705644393951184492017-01-08T18:19:49.393-07:002017-01-08T18:19:49.393-07:00Hi Tim

I was leaning toward the PX-860, but found a used Roland RG-1F nearby for the same price. I can't find any reviews of this mini grand, and I know there is some risk buying used. But if it checks out, is it a much better instrument than the Casio? (the only reason I'd take the risk) Primarily concerned with piano function and sound. Just don't have room for an acoustic.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377422059562131411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4435387191513477004.post-32728849446877020532016-11-10T10:41:56.075-07:002016-11-10T10:41:56.075-07:00Hi Tim,

From your reviews, I understood that they have the same key action -- does that mean they are the same in terms of an authentic acoustic piano experience? I'm playing at an advanced level and I'd really like to buy a digital piano that offers an authentic experience, without spending so much on an acoustic piano (I'm an university student).
