Well, I can't imagine many people are interested, but I'm so excited I just have to tell people.  Just got my new piano yesterday, a Kawai CA5 digital piano, in satin rosewood finish (ie, dark woodlike-vinyl). It has wood keys, which feel wonderful and very heavy. It has a good sound, and all sorts of neat adjustments--8 different pianos! I haven't played seriously, or even at all really, for about 10 or 15 years, and I played on this one for about 3 hours yesterday, before my wife told me I'd been playing for 3 hours and should probably take a break. In short, I'm pretty darn happy.  Oh yeah, and it's freakin' enormous, and weighs 150 lbs. I think my wife would like to include that qualification.

I'm interested..............and excited and happy for you. Making your own music is a joy. Will you be playing duets with Adam?

I am so far below Adam's skill level, it's not even funny.

Congrats, Ken! From the descriptions and all, I get the feeling that I may envy your purchase after trying it out. We shall see.

Well then, will Adam be giving you lessons?

That ...remains to be seen. Actually hadn't crossed my mind. I need to make myself finish the last of this chapter of my CCNA book, then I can play today. Which means I shouldn't even be on this computer.

Ken, congratulations, that looks terrific! As far as your skill level goes, I bet with a little more practice that you'll be able to knock off the Albeniz Iberia with no sweat.

Jack, staying with the piano theme, today I gave Marshall's Gershwin collection as a gift(Tower had it back in stock)and I wondered if your order from Crotchet went well and what your impressions were.
