Yamaha P-200 Electronic Piano (Debussy Arabesque #1)
on: September 25, 2005, 10:13:28 PM
My first piano was the Yamaha P-200 electronic piano.  Now I have a steinway (going on 4 weeks now).  It's surprising how different the touch and action.

You can hear me struggling with the P-200 on this file.

Look for my other thread with the 3AM playing on my steinway of the same piece so you can compare the tonal qualities.. 

I love piano!!!!  Just getting started.  Thanks to all for inspiration.  I have a lot to learn.  I don't have a piano teacher (yet).  But I'm learning from you.  Please write me some criticisms. 

My own criticisms of this Yamaha p-200 playing.

Some notes are brought out too loud - trouble with the action/touch - very different than the steinway.

Of course there are missed notes.

Anybody know how many "layers" this digital piano has?  the P-200..  I think layers means being sampled at different hammer velocities... 

Or somebody educate me.
Practice!
