Stage 3 HP keyboard

Postby mtokimoto » 24 May 2018, 18:32

Can anyone tell me if the Stage 3 HP keyboard is the same one that's used on the Electro 5 HP? The Electro 5 HP keyboard feels pretty clunky compared to the Stage 3 88 HA action, but the weight of the 88 makes it too heavy to lug around.

I had the Electro 5 and now the Stage 3. They do feel similar but then, I didn't dislike the HP board on the Electro. I can see why it could be described as "clunky" but I'm not a traditional piano player. I do like the feeling of the weighted board and actually prefer it to playing my dad's upright for example. It's just different. If I was a dedicated pianist, I'm sure the 88HA is worth every penny. I just wasn't interested in lugging around that much board either.

Hey, I have a Stage 3 76HP. By far, the keys are quieter and less thunky than the 5HP. I like them a lot more than the 5HP. They're weighted, but not insanely heavy or clunky. Just perfect, to me.
