Yamaha P95 Or Korg Sp170 Or ????
on: November 29, 2010, 10:45:55 AM
Hello Pianophiles!

I have been thinking of getting a digital piano for my 5 year old daughter and myself.  Currently I have an old Yamaha PSR something or rather that is really not up to scratch (no weighting, only 9 key polyphony!!!) and an acoustic which I am currently working on to get up to scratch.

I have been looking at the Yamaha P95 and the Korg Sp170 as suitable candidates.  I have read here that a few like the P85, so I can only assume that the P95 will be of the same ilk?

As for the SP170, I have found very little on that one.  Has anyone played one?  Will such a keyboard be substantial enough to last a few years?

Also, is there other brands that I should look at in a similar price range.

Cheers and thanks
