[CAUT] Yamaha "hybrid" piano

[Jim Busby]

Dennis,

Here at BYU there are two performing groups that tour all over the world, and after years of fighting local pianos they now do the digital thing. Not hybrid, but this sounds like it might be better than what they have.

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,
