It was and wasn't there

I didn't find my YDP-213, unfortunately...

But I did find the CP-33 for the same price as the P-140 (a digital piano, but perhaps more suited for home use - it comes with two headphone outputs, among other things and its own internal speakers), and I'm already about halfway sold on the CP-33 (which is a stage piano, and moderately portable, at 38 pounds weight). With pedals (a set of 3 mounted), music stand and bench, it comes up to $1500; speakers or headphones (the CP-33 has no internal speakers of its own) are about an extra $100-150. The P-140 saves on the speakers/headphones, but is only about $50-80 cheaper (the stand is more expensive).

Plus, the CP-33 just feels at home on a stage. It's got direct amp/PA outputs, and has both MIDI and USB outputs as well, in addition to having pitch/modulation controls. I imagine it'd look great in PR1, or the AR, or UCC Theatre (dare I say Hall!?), or even at home. ^^;;

So, yeah, it's not cheap by any stretch, but it is an attractive deal. I also saw itsacz's model there, but I wasn't too keen on it, mostly because the touch seems rather odd to me (I can hear both my playing and the striking of the actual key). It is a pretty good keyboard for home use, though. :)

And the person in charge of the keyboard section is a really nice guy. Even if I decide not to buy from that store (which doesn't seem very likely), I appreciate the fact that he gave me advice about shopping online and some of the risks that are present in doing so, even though it can be significantly cheaper. He was also really helpful in trying to find a keyboard that suited my needs when I told him I really wanted something like the YDP-213 (three pedals, a stand and a 88-key keyboard), even though they didn't carry it at all. And he suggested that if I really wanted to find it, I could try Best Buy or Target, or another place like that.

Now I just need to find reviews and decide...

It's a good thing I didn't have my credit card today xD
