Honestly, I agree with you. Once you’ve experienced a quality instrument, downgrading seems like a step backward—especially if it’s just sitting at home. The improvement in touch and tone with higher-end models really makes a difference, so unless there’s a financial necessity, it’s hard to justify. Your suggestion to trade is fair, though—sometimes that’s the only way to adjust without feeling like you’re losing value.SteveNordP3 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 03:00 Yes. You’ll regret it.
First - you have it. What’s the point of going backward? Even if you only play at home - I’ve had my Yamaha C7 only at home...
Seriously - unless you bought it on credit and don’t want to make payments, it’s hard to understand why you would downgrade. You have the Grand too - I haven’t played it yet but those who have say the keybed is MUCH better than the Fatar bed in the P3 I have.
If you really MUST downgrade, trade with me.![]()

Re: Will I regret downgrading?
Only consider this if you can borrow the new one for at least a weekend. Most digital pianos don’t feel like an instrument to me, they feel like a keyboard. This is in terms of the sounds and the response. I have the original Nord Grand. Zero chance I’d replace it with anything else, obviously if it was stolen or something I’d get a Nord Grand 2.
