Keyboard for a small handed person

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a decent MIDI keyboard with 3/4 or 7/8 size keys and at least 5 octaves. I have tiny hands for an adult (barely a 7" span) which I injured last year on my Fatar Studio 90. Now with my injury, I can no longer even stretch a 7th without pain. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Hehe, no. All Roland keyboards have standard size keys. This Korg is really very small as you can see in this video

I don'tknow anything other than the microstation that has mini keys and is that long. Pretty much everything else is only 3 octaves.

 
Keys: Roland Fantom X8, M-Audio ProKeys 88SX, Roland JP-8000, Custom Keytar, Collard & Collard Upright
Software: Cubase SX3, Sibelius 5
Other: Roland XV-5080, Yamaha StagePAS 150, Custom Laser Harp, Stylophone

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately the korg is a little too expensive for me at the moment. I did manage to find another 61-mini-key MIDI capable synth- the Yamaha Portasound series (PSS-680, PSS-780, PSS-790, PSS-795, PSS-51). They're cheaper, but are so old that they lack key-velocity and a pedal port in the back. I might buy one anyways if I can't find anything else. Definitely let me know if you come across any more 5+ octave mini-key keyboards. Thanks!
