Paul: The chairman of the Keyboard Division of the School of Music here at Baylor shares the following information: ------------------------- Please forward my reply to Mr. Kupelian. Baylor University purchased a new keyboard lab during the 1989 - 90 academic year. After looking at all of the brands of instruments that you mentioned, we chose Yamaha Clavinova CLP - 350's. We chose this instrument over a Roland digital keyboard in the HP series mainly because the touch and weighted key action and tonal response on the Yamaha was more comparable to that of an acoustic piano than that of the Roland keyboard. The touch on the Roland instrument in our price range seemed on the "spongy" side. We have had excellent service from our Yamahas. The only negative that I am aware of is that the sampling tends to be a bit uneven, which I did not notice at the time of purchase. However, our level of satisfaction with these instruments is high. The manufacturer support has been excellent - two representatives from the headquarters in California stopped by to check on our installation and seemed very open to our suggestions about these Clavinovas.
