well you got my curious about the Korg. listening to the demos on the Korg site- they sounded nice! but i can't tell you how many times i've said that and changed my mind down the road.

but i think at $2200 bucks it is an interesting candidate relative to the roland and yamaha offerings.. i like the way it looks..

Hello Raldoh,
Before limiting your choices of stage piano to Kawai and Korg, I suggest that you look into the Yamaha P140. It has a nice weighted action, and does include a few church organs in its sounds.

I´m not looking for that type of piano, more a professional stage piano. But thanks anyway

The CP1 won't be around for awhile, and will cost an arm and a leg, and won't have any organ samples from what i can tell....I would either look at the RD 700GX or the Yamaha CP 300. both are at the higher end of current offerings- $2000-$2500 US, have competent acoustic pianos, electric pianos, and organs. i own the p-250 (predecessor to p-300) and it is built like a tank and it starts every morning even in cold weather.......:-)...... to me the yamaha is built better than the RD, but i like the RD's voices better, particularly their EP's and organs... you could also look at their little brothers- the RD 300GX (or maybe that's SX..?) and the CP33. they are less expensive and do a lot of the same things/ same voices..regarding my p-250- i don't love its sounds, but they certainly are competent particularly for live performance ...

Yamaha CP1 (top of the range) http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musica...e=overview
or CP5 (next one down) http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musica...e=overview
You won't go wrong with one of these if you want a well built stagepiano. They've only just come out! Check out the links and at least try one before you make your final decision!

Hi everybody!
I´m going to buy a new piano and I´m not quiet sure about witch stage piano want the most, or the one who fit me best, Kawai MP-8 II or the new Korg vintage stage piano. Can I please get some help? I listen a lost to Muse, Franz Ferdinand and Jamie Cullum. And does any body know if you can get a church organ sound on the korg, maybe through the USB port? Anyway, can some body help me? What would you choose? And why?
