Hohner Pianet is kind of a poor man's Wurli. It sounds nice but a bit wonky.

Do you want a real electromechanic piano or would you consider a digital one?

High to low:

Wurli: is a real tactile instrument, but will cost you 5K. Kesha's is pretty cool! :cool:

Korg SV-1: $1800, but is large & still in charge (for those who want a close approximation, relative to being a life-sized human):

Yamaha Reface CP: valuable tool that seems to ebb & flow availability-wise depending on the sound of my voice. Usually about $300? Now $450 :( Is very tiny, to most? OK sized to some.

Alesis Nanopiano: half rack legacy module that is usually $100 bleached bones, sounds passable, especially with pedals :cool: EDIT: nevermind, it's $250 now ;(

Softsynth: I cannae say, but I'm sure the choixes are endless, not nameless :?: All you wood kneed: CPU connectivity & a MIDI controller = profit! All these kids use an old iPad, but What Do Kids Know? :poke:
