Bob,
For a while, I sold pianos and organs, including some of the earlier generations of the Yamaha Clavinova. I was amazed then, and continue to be amazed with the current generation. We had a blind gentleman come in and sit down at one. His comment, when told it was a digital piano was that he could hardly believe it, between the feel and the sound of the instrument.

I can't find it now, but there was a demo on YouTube of someone playing a new Yamaha CVP series Clavinova and playing Leroy Anderson's The Typewriter Song, and the sound was fantastic.

By the way, Roland screwed up on their demo page for the SD50, something I take great amusement in. Under the audio demos, there is a demo for a 'Clavinova' where it should be a 'clavinet.' Clavinova is a trademark of Yamaha's for their line of digital pianos, and unless Roland sampled one of Yamaha's devices playing the clavinet sound, I doubt very much it's a Clavinova they're sampling.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
