Re: Digital piano vs acoustic grand piano (Knabi 6' 11”)
I’m pleased with my Casio PX-S1100 mostly because I can easily tote it around all by myself.

I'd like to play some Bach in June. I'm in a Prelude & Fugue kind of mood...I'm wrapping up one, starting another and probably a third one. I'll pick which key closer to the date, if that's OK?

My favorite activity is chamber music, but I love learning solo repertoire now here at Tonebase.
