Yamaha GT20 vs Accoustic piano - The touch ?
on: November 04, 2004, 06:49:54 AM
Hi everyone,

I would like to have your opinions guys regarding the Yamaha GT20 and more specifically its keyboard and mechanism...

For those who tried it, do you feel the touch is really close to the one of an accoustic piano ?

Thanks !

I played for a church lately that had one, and It is very "different".  I have noticed that the keys tend to stick easier and you can never get a digital "piano"(or so they try to call it) that has action like that of an acoustic piano.

Thanks to you two for answering !

Is it so different that one should "relearn" everything when switching to an acoustic piano ?

thanks again.
