I am contemplating changing my digital piano and came across a Cronenwerth CDP-502 sold by a fim in Germany called Topsoundseller.
Anybody got any info this product or any of the Cronenwerth products?
Thanks.

Once you sort out the translations it'll still cost you 150 Euros to have this delivered & do you reckon all the demo. songs will be Bierkeller? They also do a portable piano for 150 Euros. But this lot will cost you around 500 Euros I believe:

Have a look at a Casio or a Cranes if you don't want to spend Yamaha or Roland money.

Anyone actually got a Cronenwerth 61? I'm a semi-pro pianist and I have a question about the keys.

Some keyboards have the key hinge just inside the case so although it's easy to press a key at the tip it's very difficult near the case.

With a proper piano 6" of the key is visible but there is a futher 3" inside the case to the hinge.

So, with a Cronenburg is it more difficult to press a key near the case compared with pressing at the tip?

I'll probably buy one if the keyboard is good, mainly for the midi in and out.

Hullo Houghley. Did you eventually buy a Cronenwerth.

Cronenworth. Don't buy one. I did and had to get rid of it immediatly.

You can't play a piano properly without a sustain pedal, the Cronenworth doesn't have any facility for that.

It's toy.

If you want more information about the 'Cronenworth' write to me at ronnewman@fastmail.fm

Incidently, you can't send the Cronenworth back to the seller. Carriage: £70.

They conned me.
