Stage Piano Review

This seemed to be the answer to someone looking for the action and basic functions of the RD700 without all the extra weight and bells and whistles.And it was a lot easier to program than all of the Kurzweils I've struggled with (mostly when the absence of a bass player required keyboard splits and precise, stable control).But after three jobs I had to admit to disillusionment--again.The action was stiffer than I required for an electric (and especially for organ sounds), the menu system didn't provide the quick responses I was used to, and, worst, the volume levels kept changing whenever I switched from one sound to another.Try to play melody and/or chords in your right hand, accompany yourself with a walking bass line in your left hand, and finally to make constant adjustments to the levels of each of the sounds/programs/set-ups to maintain consistent, balanced levels (not to mention silencing the constant complaints from the saxophone player or band leader).Just don't ask yourself if you're having fun. Answering that question honestly may lead to starting that long-postponed Roth instead of purchasing more gear.
