We are planning for ABRSM but I am not sure how serious/advanced they will go.<br /><br />So I am torn between getting a CVP705/709 Clavinova (at 18-20K) or a real Yamaha U1J Silent (26-30K). I tried both. I agree nothing digital can compare to the acoustic one but I think our family would enjoy stuff we can do with Clavinova (playing in a ‘band’, singing, recording etc). At the same time I don’t want to spend another 30K in a few years in case my children advancing and like her teacher said ‘sooner or later you will have to get an acoustic’ 😭😭😭 <br /><br />If any of you had been in the same shoes please share ur experience and whatnots. <br /><br /><br /> purpleamethyst Musicians Tue, 26 Dec 2017 19:30:32 +0800
