What do you guys know about this? IS this an EP or somehting more like a digital piano with hammer action? I found it on kijii for 750$ and I was considering buying a Yamaha CP33 or somehting like that. I just want a digital piano with a nice touch and good piano sound for silent late night practice. Is this a suitable instrument for me? I really like the look of it, but I'm not sure if its really worth it and I haven't tested the touch yet.

I don't know much about it, but what I can gather from this demo vid, it seems to have graded hammers and counter weights to provide at least the feel of a real piano, but it doesn't appear that they actually strike anything? 

This vid also has a cross section display piece that shows the hammer action.

I'd look for other videos on youtube to see how it sounds.

I actually watched the vid. So its definitely not like an EP then? Just a very bulky digital piano (probably with a more authentic touch than most)?

I'm just wondering how much I should pay for it. And I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with one here.

I also found a Kurzweil PC3 for sale for the same price. Which one dya think I should go for?


r: actually I think it was a Kurzweil SP3x not PC3x. PC3x for that price would be too good to be true.

I'm not the guy to answer either of those questions.  Sorry.  Perhaps someone else has some familiarity with this piano.
Best,

It's a digital stage piano - basically the same type of device as a Yamaha CP33.
