Hi,

I am looking for a really good Digital Piano, or may be a Keyboard. My budget is around $2500 to $3000, which is around about 2000 to 2200 Euros.

I have been playing the keyboards for more than 5 years now, so I am not a beginner. I have done some research on the internet but I am not sure which have the best feel...like a normal piano.

I am not looking for plastic keys, doesn't feel piano like. And the piano sounds have to be very realistic. Wooden stand will even be better.

I like the Kawai CA51 digital piano, which uses real wooden keys.

Another alternative I am looking at is the Yamaha YDP or the Yamaha CVP series, just because they have keyboard like features...all those accompaniments, fingered mode, etc. I have played keyboards so would love those things.

Only problem is I don’t know how the keys on the Yamaha pianos feel.

Can I have some suggestions on the Yamaha YDP V240? How the keys feel and how about it sounds?

I am open to other suggestions as well...may be a digital stage piano?

Thanks a lot
Ken
