KAWAI ES1 and ES3

[lukgier]

hi
I am going to buy an electric piano. I've found kawai's two models - es1 and es3. does any of you guys use one of these pianos?? what is your opinion on that. the es3 is more expensive - is it worth the price? which one should I choose? any ohter sugestions on portable pianos? es1 has 32 poliphony - will I be able to play through midi with greater poliphony in gigastudio?
thanks a lot

This reply is just a little late......

But i bought a kawai Es-1 a few months ago. I love it.

Although im only learning piano really, I use it for live as well as recording.

It doesnt have all the cheesy sounds you get with dodgy cheap keyboards. Just 8 sounds with variations(16 all up).

The main reason i bought it is for the realistic action (i have a kawai acoustic piano too and it is remarkably close) and for the basic piano sounds.

The lower strings are great too as well as a nice jazz hammond sound.

I think it was a great buy

cheers
