Thomas C. Used for: 3–6 months
Pros
Even from the bottom octave to the top
Cons
Needs two people to shift it
Comment
Plays like a piano, costs like a controller
George C. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
Hammer action a pianist can genuinely practise on
Cons
It is 1.4 metres of desk and heavy with it
Comment
I learnt on an upright and this is the first controller that has not made my technique fall apart within a week. Weighted properly, quiet under the fingers, and it takes a full-size sustain pedal rather than a plastic footswitch.
Jack B. Used for: 1–3 months
Pros
One USB cable and nothing else to plug in
Cons
No knobs, no pads, no screen at all
Comment
88 weighted keys running off bus power from a laptop still seems slightly unreasonable, and it means the whole rig is a bag and a lead!
