Odds are, I think, the new Waldorf synths may fare better buzz-wise. I see an electromechanical vs. simulated electric piano smackdown in the future. The winners: lovers of electric pianos. The losers: anyone wanting an electric piano with the Canadian flag will need to get a custom paint job. Though I betcha you’ll be one-of-a-kind. -PK [...] [...] Ed.: It’s a tough NAMM show for the Zarenbourg: Waldorf’s electric piano has to face up to the real Rhodes moniker.

That Stromberg does sound tasty, though... Here’s hoping they ship ‘complete’ products this go’round, rather than shipping an only partially-complete OS (see: Original Waldorf Q).

Having Wurlitzer sounds alone is tempting but the portability and the fact that it never goes out of tune would be awesome. Then again I doubt that they could undercut the price of the Nord Electro enough: this thing is going to be prohibitively expensive to ship although I'm sure much much easier to ship than a real electric piano.
