OT: The best baby grand in the shop (IMO) was a 5'5" Cunningham. However, I am told it is the same action except the hammers are replaced by the sensor "hammers".
Now of course I am not suggesting the NV10 action is as well regulated as an SK or even a GX. I discussed this in length with the salesman. The feel of the GL10 is not even close due to shorter key pivot points. In other words, equivalent to a 5' 5" grand piano. It is obvious that the action in the NV10 is, as advertised, the same used in the G元0, and the GX1. I specifically wanted to try the G10 and GL20. I was at a local Kawai dealer this morning. I might have missed some of this thread as I am a little anxious to reply to some the misinformation proffered here. The only real alternative is going for a K300 Aures. Total effort required: full nervous breakdownĪll of a sudden, an Indonesia-made, overpriced N1X becomes the best grand action I can afford both in terms of space and $$$. If I move closer to London, I'll need to move to a crappier area to afford that space with 600k to keep standards, I'd need to move further out, essentially giving myself less time to play) Time invested: the eons that'll take me to find a house I like and that isn't a flat or a terraced + the daily increase in commute time to Central London (if I want to fit a grand I need a bigger house.
Cost of the new house I need to buy to make it fit: 600k Cost of the piano: 9k (+3k from N1X, but for a real grand, a more than fair difference) Time invested: the 5 minutes from my office to the Yamaha London store + the time to try the piano and find the courage to part with a lot of cash for something I plug in the same socket as my toaster Right right, let me do the real math here: In other words, you can get both of those two grands together for about 10% more than the N-3X costs. Incidentally, for price comparisons involving the N-3X, Thomann sells this for 17666 EUR, whilst they sell the entry level acoustic grands Kawai GL EUR and Yamaha GB EUR.
If market interest drops off, the selling price will also drop off (unless the manufacturers are really dumb).īy the way, why would anyone assume that the hybrids are based on top-of-the-range acoustic grands? Surely they are based on bottom-of-the-barrel acoustic grands (made in Indonesia, just as the digital pianos are). If people are willing to shell out a high price for a hybrid, the manufacturers will be happy to sell at that high price. The manufacturers sell the hybrids at the price, which they believe will maximise their income after subtraction of costs. The manufacturing cost for a hybrid is only really relevant, if the price obtainable by the producer on the retail market is lower than that (in which case production and sales would come to an end).
