Pianist - Piano Buyer's Guide 2017

Before I flipped through this magazine, I imagined it to be one of those junk magazines that show only the manufacturers of products that pay for ads, which in fact are the majority.

But I was mistaken, here, it brings the great brands of new pianos and models, comparing prices between similar pianos.
Of course the unfair competition between East and West, since , they cost half the price of a good local piano, is creating absurd embargoes that make the price of cheap east oriental pianos become expensive in the USA and Europe, that's the fine for them.

At the end of the magazine there are opportunistic ads with that pile of digital junk, like Roland, Clavinova etc, when our best friend kontakt wins in all competition with a vast pianos stuff costing a lot cheaper, although Casio is ahead of all of them on the digital issue.

If you want to buy a cheap digital piano, forget all and invest in a Casio, which is no longer that crap that was in the past, also can be used as an excellent Kontakt controller.
I tried to use Roland, Yamaha as controllers, and it is difficult to adjust the MIDI channels, while Casio, has Split buttons with a finger touch.

Or pay more for a Yamaha or M-Audio Keyboard Controler, but, please don't be silly to buy a keyboard that does not have AFTERTOUCH, which is a must for kontakt users, by the way, Roland new ones don't have.
