Hi David,

Thanks for your comments and your suggestion of the Kurzweil PC2R. However, I checked out the recorded demos on Kurzweil's web site (http://www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/html/pc2_demos.html), and based on the solo piano piece represented there, I don't feel that the PC2R is *that* much better than the built-in piano patch on my P300 (which is what I'm using now). At least not $950 better. I know for that price you get the orchestra ROM, etc etc, but I don't need that. I just need a good solo piano patch, and a passable Rhodes. Also, I know that this is just an MP3, and that I really need to try the PC2R it in person, with the same amplifier I will be using live, etc, but just based on that demo, I hear a lot of the same thinness of tone and lack of authentic-sounding overtones that bug me about the P300's piano sample. I haven't checked out gear in years, and I was under the impression that vast strides had been made since I got the P300 back in 1994. If the PC2R really is the best thing going, in terms of piano patches (in hardware or software), I guess maybe my expectations were just unrealistic?

I don't know why
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the Big One and see what happens
