Hello.

Something you may wish to explore are the new Yamaha Avant grand pianos. They are just out and lovely. reasonably priced about $25000 for the grand and I think $1500 for the up-right. Research them on Yamaha's site for further details. BUT for their release in Canada my facility was one of the three chosen to partner with Yamaha for this event (the other two being in Vancouver and Montreal). Many artists are (Yamaha rep tells us this) choosing these units for their feel of a true acoustic grand, the action is identical to an acoustic grand, the sound is very good (8 speakers to get the sound out), and the cabinet vibrates to give the player feedback. Recording it is simple (I had to do this for 2 straight weeks). set up the 414's and the 4006's and it works exceptionally well. The units do not take up huge room, and are affordable.

Regards,
