However one of the reasons for the clean look is that it is just a controller and requires a computer with virtual instruments . The VPC 1 action is very well regarded which was my primary consideration . There is excellent virtual piano software to use with the VPC 1 . The mp 11 professionalstagepiano . html has a slightly better action than the VP 1 and it has builtin sounds . The es 8 digitalpianoblack . html has an action that is a step down from the VP 1 , but is still very good . Yamaha and Kawai make some wonderful console models but you ' d be paying for amplifiers and speakers that might not get used if you primarily listen with headphones . When I ' m not using headphones I use my vintage stereo with KEF and Advent speakers where my soul lives , which I ' d bet are as least a good as the audio system built into these pianos . If you shop for a Kawai console use this Kawai document on their actions as a guide . Yamaha also has very good actions . It would be worth researching them a bit . FWIW . Or course manual typewriters still capture many peoples hearts . But it ' s possible to develop and affection for modern electronics . Check out the the 810 mark of J . J .
