Pallas I think it puts the music closer to your hands, which makes sense to me, especially if you want to use peripheral vision for boogie woogie left hand jumps.
Yes, this is something I always thought that cheapo digitals with small cabinets have as advantage over the expensive and big ones. Until now this was just a theory in my mind, glad you confirmed it.
The special thing about Sophias Clavinova is the empty space between the top plate and the one holding the music rest. I don't think in this slot (5 cm?) is something that is necessary to run the piano. I think there are no mechanic parts, nor or any electronic. I just wonder why the top plate is existing at all?
Sophia I'm not entirely sure what you guys mean. Are you talking about the music stand?
Acually I wondered, how (or if) you can fold away the music rest, to make the top entirely flat. So flat, that you can place the e374 on top of it. I mean, your piano offers a big wide slot between the topmost plate and the one of the music rest. And I guess, the music rest can vanish in this slot. I just don't get, how it can vanish, without using a screwdriver.
On mine I can fold the music away, but then I don't get a really flat top. The music rest is still there, like a wooden plank on top. If I would like to use a keyboard on top of the piano, I would have to use something like a book on each side of the folded music rest. Otherwise, the keyboard would wobble around.
