- We bought a Yamaha Clavinova, CLP-560 (if my memory is right), last Christmas
- for our 11 year old and 9 year old sons to play. The fact that we didn't
- have to have it tuned and that it fit in our living room were major
- criteria for the purchase. It is touch sensitive and is supposed to have
- the feel of a traditional piano.
-
- Since then the boys, who practice 1-1/2 to 2 hours every day, occasionally
- complain that it doesn't feel the "same" as their piano instructor's Kawaii
- studio piano.
-
- Since my wife and I know almost nothing about pianos, let me ask a question
- here for some expert to hopefully answer. Is the difference in feel going
- to hinder their piano advancement? (I had an idea that there was probably
- as much difference in feel between different types of traditional pianos
- as their is between a traditional piano and the Clavinova.)
-
- Thanks
