Physis h2 piano

Postby zilentman » 04 Feb 2016, 16:51

Hello there, I recently played the physis h1 physical modelling stage piano and found its sounds the next big thing.I am trying to find if the h2 has the same keybed, or if anyone on the forum has played it, as I am about to sell my electro 3 for it.

The H2 has a different Keybed: PGK Physis Grand Keyboard - 88 lightweight hammer keys with “Ivory Feel” key tops - 3 contacts - Velocity curves: 5 preset + 4 user.
The H1 instead has: PGK Physis Grand Keyboard - 88 graded-hammer wooden keys with “Ivory Feel” key tops - 3 contacts - Velocity curves: 5 preset + 4 user (6 kg heavier), it's a modified Fatar TP/40W.

And what is the difference between this lightweight ivory feel keybed and the waterfall one of my electro?
The h1 that I played and said that it has graded heavy weight etc. keys was already like an old piano feeling.it was not close to a Yamaha cp-1 or a kurzweil forte keybed.It was already much lighter.a great touche in my opinion.

Idk 'cause I don't have a Physis Piano (but I'm considering to buy a Physis Piano K4 EX GW).
Try to ask in this fb group, maybe someone will help you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1490471024505624/

I have been playing the physis H1 for almost 3 years in jazz concerts in alternative to my nord stage 2 when good acoustic piano is required. I am getting a lot of congratulation both from the audience and the sound technician about the realism of the acoustic and electro acoustic sound. Obviously the Nord have the advantage of being light and easy to Handcarry. I guess the K4 is a good compromise for good piano sound and transportability.

The Physis seems very interesting, how good is the keybed? I've never tried an Italian keybed that felt great.
