Hey folks

After looking around for ages, I've finally settled on the Clavinova CVP305.

I was so tempted to go for the CLP 280 but I think that, whilst I'm learning, the bells and whistles of the CVP305 will prove really helpful.

Once I get my new house (and be up to a decent standard) I'm gonna get a nice acoustic but I think the Clavinova will see me through the next few years.

I'm getting on OK with the Grade 2 pieces just now so I'm hoping to sit Grade 3 (which will be my first exam) in March.

Sorry for the pointless post but no-one else I know is interested in piano so this is the only place I can share my thoughts!

Thanks for listening! (well, reading ...)

Yay congratulations! A new toy to play with!
Yes acoustics are usually preferable, but not always possible.
Have fun with it!

Not at all - I've just bought a new piano, and I celebrated on the forums - congratulations and enjoy your new baby! Good luck with the grade 3.

Oh congratulations, I'm sure that you'll have fun with it.

I love my digital. I particularly enjoy recording one hand and playing along with the other, it is great for pieces where I learn one hand at a time.

(That said, I too long for the day when I'll be able to buy and house an acoustic.)

ooo... congrats! you finally have another pal to play with... enjoy it!

ShArOn

Yes, congratulations on your new piano. Enjoy it. I have a digital at present, but after about nine or ten years, it needs replacing and I am going to go back to acoustic, jut because I want to.

Have fun

Congratulations. I have worked in music shops and have some knowledge of the CVP range (I own an old CVP). There is a lot to them. If you have any queries, feel free to pm me and I'll try to help.

Thank you!

I've ordered a tutorial set on audio CD too but it's nice to know I've got someone to turn to if I need help.

Congratulations! Do enjoy playing!

I love mine, can't remember the exact model but it's a Yamaha, love being able put on the headphones and not worry about who I am disturbing.......but then I feel it lacks the sensitivity of an acoustic, I long for that "real note" from a piano instead of just a "played back" version, but the digi will have to do for now (and I love it cos I spent my first whole "real" pay packet on it)!!
