[CAUT] Yamaha "hybrid" piano

[Ed Sutton]

What is "hybrid" about this machine?

As soon as you say "hybrid piano," you are buying into a sales pitch.

  Hi-

  A few of our piano faculty are interested in this new hybrid piano as an alternative to moving a large concert grand for events with non-prominent piano needs to go with various ensembles.  Maybe it's too new for anyone to have experiences, but please share any that might be out there.  They figure it could probably pay for itself with saved moving expenses in about 5 years.  I wondered about the possibility of some groups using it on tours to eliminate the unknown variable of pianos on the road.  

  thanks,
