I am eagerly looking out of my study window waiting for the arrival of a new toy that ought to be delivered today.

Up until now I have used a keyboard to do my shows (a Roland E-09) but it is not a weighted keyboard and in alot of ways is more difficult to play expressively than a proper weighted piano keyboard.

Even though I don't have many gigs ( although I have a few booking in my calendar now..got fed up with being poorly and wanted to give it a try again) I decided to splash out on a proper piece of kit so I can take my performance up a notch. So it is a Yamaha P85 that I hope will turn up today. I have ordered one in black (they come in silver too but that a bit glitzy lol) which I understand is in short supply. Most online vendors don't it in stock. I ordered one from Digital Village and they took the money only for them to tell me it was out of stock a weeks later. That's a pretty good ploy for holding my funds for a week on something they can identify instantly is not available. I tried the usual supplier I use online which is Dolphin but they didn't have one. Eventually I found they had one at my local music shop in Bath; Duck, Son & Pinker. It should arrive today and I cannot wait!
