New keyboard

Yamaha NP-V60

The Roland D10 has been playing up and I really wanted decent piano, rock organ and string sounds on a giggable keyboard for the stuff the band is doing, so I picked one up from Dawson's on Sunday. The D10, PSS680 and Clavinova have to go.

Good:
- sounds (from Grand Piano to Scream)
- light weight
- adapts to any sustain pedal
- USB PC connection
- graduated touch (heavier on the left hand end)
-73 keys vs. D10's 61

Lacks:
- Modulation wheel (has pitch bend only)
- MIDI (it's so 1980s)
- Damper/program-select input
- Aftertouch (so does the D10)
- Any ability to modify the sounds

If you can wait a few days it's £15 quid cheaper through Amazon marketplace than Dawsons.

Can you make it a medley and include the wolf hunting scene from The Thing?
