I bought a Kawai ca99 digital piano three years ago. The feel is great. The simulated sound is pretty damn good, with a lot of attention to harmonics produced by undamped strings. The built-in speakers do however quickly reach their limit w

It's still worth discussing what may the effects be once it does become available. It's hard to know exactly when. We're bad at estimating. "progress is always slower than you think in the short term, and faster than you
