@@thehiko That's cool. I'm considering the GP-6 for the cabinetry but tempted to go with the LX-9 for the Hybrid Grand action. Any thoughts on the GP-6 PHA-50 action/speakers you can share?
@thehiko18 күн бұрын
@leeclw Did you post on Piano World last week? If so I just responded there! 🙂 I’m sorry I missed your post until today. The LX form factor is going to be more immersive I think. I tried the LX-708 last year and that was the case. While I haven’t tried the LX-9, I’m sure it improves on that. I personally liked the GP sound more when not sitting at the piano though. Hybrid grand action seemed too perfect, too easy to play to me. In reality most pianos are much clunkier so I think a little more imperfection is not a bad thing.

Beautifully played, thank you! 🙂 I love all of Hisaishi's film themes.

I hope to be able to play Hisaishi's arrangements one day, along with all his other works.

The minor stumble precipitating a full on inner-rage quit. I completely understand. I played piano for 8 years, but it's been probably 20 years since I've practiced. However, when I sit down at a bench I expect the muscle memory and coordination to be there immediately. I was the exact same way after just 1 year of not playing every day. An easy fix but so disheartening.

So true! And there’s so much - coordination, stamina, accuracy, evenness. It’s like working out, takes a lot of effort to build and maintain but you can lose so much so fast
