                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I just tried a bunch at Guitar Center and I'm planning to by the Yamaha P-85. ($599) The piano sounds are pretty good, but my main concern was how it felt and it had the best feel of anything under $1000. The onboard speakers sound OK.<br><br>It has an audio out but I think it's a headphone size, which you could send to a computer or use an adapter if you need to connect with any "pro" equipment.<br><br>You'll need a separate sustain pedal, but they sell a 3-pedal add-on which is nice if you're a real pianist...]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[As above, weighted keys are important.  If you are looking for a "real" piano with a volume control, focus on the feel of the keys and the main piano voice, and ignore the 99 other features.  Weighted keys are like the action on your guitar, if they are not right, you can still play, but you'll be annoyed.<br><br>I like Korg, dislike Yamaha, and own a Samick, which makes everything under $1000.]]></content:encoded>
