Good thing you brought this up. The Casio is another model I tried in Japan
while looking,. The keyboard is weird in that the black keys are abnormally
tall. The Yamaha boards are the best made most balanced keybeds IMO. Except for
the weight I don't think anyone would turn down a Clavinova. If you're buying a
piano, buy the best bed you can. The sounds and tricks can come later
