Technics Piano

May be out of line here, but does anyone know / or does anyone here have a Techincs Piano for sale or know where I could get one. Ideally Black grain wood, something from the SX series of proper painos, not keyboards. Full size, fully weighted hammer action jobbies.

Second hand would be brill as someone told me Techincs had pulled out of the game, my budget is around £400 to £500 max.

Any particular reason you're after a ye olde Technics? The Piano sound isn't exactly fantastic.

Got a Technics SX-PR200 here - sort of inherited it. I'd love a spanking new Yamaha. Can't afford it yet though.`

Well compared to Bentley and Viscount, the Technics sounded almost real!

All i want is a Digital Piano that sounds uber! Clavinova I'm guessing is what you're after?

Yamaha do some excellent ones, and I think their range starts at £500

I have a Roland one that my parents bought when I was learning years and years ago. I finally got it into my flat a year or two ago and it's still great. Having checked ebay for its value, it's only worth a couple of hundred max after being almost £2000 new. It's fine for me though, and I can even use the MIDI ports for cubase

Wheres Arty when you need him?

I do believe the older Technics were well sought after for their piano sounds at the time.
