Has anyone here tried a Roland V piano?

I was just curious if anyone has any comments on the Roland V piano. It is very expensive,and looks awesome, but what is the action like?

Anyone know?

Yowza - seven large!

Even used they are $3500-$5500!!

And the $3500 ones do not last long!

Yikes!

Looks very impressive, but unless I'm very much mistaken it has no inbuilt electric piano sounds.....

No, this is just acoustic piano. You can hear it on youtube, but the price is ridiculous.
Yamaha makes a coouple digital pianos that have REAL actions inside and real wooden keys, and they cost less,I believe. I just don't know if they have the features of the v piano...

i tried it a few years ago, it was really good, but i wasn't blown away by it. its a bit to big for gigging, and as a home keyboard you could probably get a baby grand for less. try the nord piano, they sound great in stereo.....

I'm not in the market for any, just curious what the Roland is like.
