This is the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list for 
rec.music.makers.piano regarding digital piano hardware 
specifications.

This FAQ list is intended to present some hardware information 
about specific digital piano models.  It is posted every month.  
As manufacturers are coming out with new piano like new cars, 
it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with the
changes.  Thus, this list is no longer updated, and is kept 
for archival/historical benefit.

news.answers, and rec.answers.  This FAQ can also be retrieved

[2] Technical Specifications

Following is a list of technical specifications of various digital 
piano make and models.  Specifications may change without notice.  
An attempt was made to list the models from low- to high-end order 
within the given manufacturer and series.  If you find any error 
or have updated information please contact the FAQ maintainer at 
the end of this list.  The word "Preliminary" means that the 
information is based on a pre-release information.

Pricing information was intentionally omitted because: 

   (1) retail prices are useless, since digital pianos are never 
       sold at that price, and 

   (2) there is a new and used gear price lists maintained 
       by Casey Palowitch and Neil Bradley.  

If you want pricing information, I highly suggest you to check out 
the New and Used Gear Price List at the following WWW URLs, and 
also, urge you to participate in keeping them up to date.

TECHNICS DIGITAL PIANOS
Technics
One Panasonic Way

(201) 392-6140
fax (201) 348-7954

All Technics piano sounds are sampled off of Steinway pianos.  The 
PX series is basically devoted to the "piano" aspect of the 
instrument.  The exteriors are simulated wood-grain finish (unless 
noted), with a choice of black or mahogany color and gold pedals.  
They also have the PR series, which belongs in the "digital 
ensemble" group.  SM is their add-on module of some sort. I'm not 
sure what the PC series stands for, but probably suggests their low-end line.

all Yamaha Clavinova piano sounds are sampled off of Yamaha 
Concert grand pianos.  The exterior is simulated dark rosewood 
grain finish with gold pedals.  The "CLP" series emphasizes the 
acoustic piano capabilities.  The "CVP" series adds symphonic 
orchestration capabilities (digital ensemble).  Yamaha also has "
Yamaha Silent Series" which is an acoustic piano (both upright and 
grand) with sound-silencing mechanism and digital piano sound
