Well? Should I buy it?

I play mostly piano right now but down the road I will be playing organs and EPs.

I already have a Kawai MP10. Do the Grands sound better on the Kronos? I have today to get back with him (Tuesday, 08/30). I can see controlling the Kronos with my wonderful keyboard that the MP10 has.

Quick thoughts please!

Thanks Dudes!

Absolutely, without hesitation... Buy It!!! Honestly, there's nothing like it once you play it. Even others (sound men, other musicians) can hear the difference.

I have decided against getting the board at this time. I sent you a pm jeebustrain that it is available.

Thanks for the input guys!

The MP10 is a fine digital piano with one of the best actions available. If your primary need is piano, keep the MP10. Add the Kronos 61 down the road if your needs expand.

Hello , l have the Kawai Mp10 and a Korg Kronos 88 , the piano sounds on the Kronos are very good but the action is not quite as good as the Kawai in my opinion. But the Kronos is an incredible workstation and l really wanted the extra keys as l require it for the styles of music l play. You have to decide whether or not you require the octave range or not ,But for me this is the ultimate setup. The Grand piano sounds on the Kronos a very different to the Kawai MP10 so l use them all. Hope this helps

Cheers

Robert Razz

Hello Bruce, l know that both the Kawai MP10 and Kronos 88 have an 88 key keybed, and that is what l was trying to explain. Most people would only have one 88 key controller keyboard and then they would choose a 61 key keyboard and use the 88 to control the 61 keyboard. But l find that having 2 88 keyboards gives me greater flexibility. Sorry l may not have made that clear.
Cheers

Robert Very Happy
