OK, Let me explain myself.

I have played and studied piano for about 3 or 4 years, and 
already then (between the age of 11-15) I was quite bored with 
the instrument, the sound, the posibilities and the keys. I 
always felt it was like hitting a wooden table.

I couldn't have been happier when I got my MS-20, a couple of 
years later (OK, terrible keys), but everything was so easy and 
lightweight...

I still think I don't really like hammer action keys (I will be 
trying them soon at your place, I hope, Joost). Until now one of 
the best keyboards I ever had (and still have, again, sinds Marek 
brought it back :-) is the Roland XP-80.

Oh, well, Everyone his own, I guess.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I'm going to the Chinese 
restaurant in a couple of hours. I love "Dutchy" Chinese food 
every now and then :-)

Tonight I'll be watching a Marillion live gig from 2008 (Köln) 
with my friend Evert. We'll be drinking Belgian beers , of course :-)

cheerio,
