The Casio AP200 provides all the rich resonance of a fine grand piano. Beautifully rich resonance provides an amazing range of expression. A Tri-element AIF Sound Source incorporating very fine stereo sampling of an acoustic grand piano for sounds that are warm and natural, from the instant they start to sound right up until they decay. The Tri-element system uses three different samples taken in each range for accurate reproduction of the different timbres for various keyboard pressures. The original AIF system captures every nuance of keyboard play to put powerful tools of expression at your fingertips. The result is notes of virtually the same richness and clarity as those produced by an acoustic grand.

Feature:
For my purpose (re-learning piano), all I want is decent piano sound and touch, and it’s got that. Not a lot of other sounds of bells/whistles, but that’s ok — particularly for the price.
Quality:
It’s not beautiful — it’s pretty clearly particle board, but it has a decent dark finish so you might not know it from a distance. When put together, it feels sturdy. The keyboard quality seems fine, and the pedals are metal, so aside from the sort-of cheap look of the stand, it’s fine.
Value:
I got this for $640 “blemished” but only the box appears to have suffered any insult. For the price, I’m thrilled.
Desirability:
This piano is not about sex appeal, but it’s appealing in the sense that it’s cheap, basic, and sounds good!
Sound:
It sounds pretty good — you can tell it’s not an acoustic grand, but it’s pretty nice. I’m just taking piano up again after many, many years, so I don’t require perfection, but I did hear some real duds when I was shopping around; this piano’s sound compares favorably with others in the price range.
Ease of Use:
Plays like a piano…
Support:
Nothing’s come up yet.
Overall:
I’m hoping that this piano will bring me back to a level where it would be reasonable to invest in a great acoustic piano, but I anticipate that that will take several years, and I hope this little guy will last for the long haul.

The PAF Joe is the new neck pickup that DiMarzio(R) developed for Joe Satriani. Joe wanted a neck position humbucker that combines the best qualities of the DiMarzio(R) PAF Pro(R) with those of a late ’50s Gibson humbucker.

Feature:
This guitar needs a different Tuner Set up. The ESP tuners won’t stay positioned for more than two set’s. They need to somehow be improved to hold better. Too much Vibration must be the culprit.
Quality:
The Tuners and maybe the pick-up’s take away that 1 out of the 10 scale rating. The Finish on the guitar is Superb. The Pot’s and the Pick-up Switch are top notch to include the strap buttons Plug Guard.
Value:
The best value for the money. This guitar rival’s guitar’s that cost three times as much.
Sound:
This guitar is Solid, Heavy Ag body allows full sustain even though It has a Bolt On. I would recommend the addition of EMG’s or Duncan’s to bring the guitar to its’ Full Resounding Potential.
Support:
Go to esp.com and find out what it mean’s to talk to nice people who care.

The combination of this sonorous bronze with their new production method provides drummers with new sound dimensions, and due to the rich program, with numerous possibilities to design an individual cymbal set.
