I'm sure it does, but I wouldn't go for it if it was me because it will be let down by the low end Fatar action's inconsistent velocity response. Ask me how I know!

Kindest Regards,

How do you know?

lol. Don't worry, I don't even think they would be available where I live. I'm hopefully gonna get a yamaha clp545 soon.

How does Austrian Spruce compare to American Pine?  Is Douglis Fir acceptable or is it too heavy?

Douglis Fir and American Pine are too specific for transmitting the performance nuances, it's ok for the Baroque music but not so good for Romantic age compositions. Austrian Spruce is obviously much better suites different styles of music. Keep in mind that the difference is not so obvious for grand pianos but in case of Casio GP line up it is a crucial decision.

It was about Bluethner.

I do have experience of the Fatar actions (TP40WOOD and TP100LR. The velocity response of these beds are inconsistent.

Hope this helps,
