73 note weighted keyboard ??

[Beboparoo]

I'm looking for the portability of a 73 note stage piano with weighted keys (not semi-weithted). Does any manufacturer make such a thing? Important sounds are piano, organ, e-piano and bass. Important features are split, changing split point, changing volume between splits and leslie effect. I'm an "ease of use" kind of guy and don't want to mess with figuring out a lot of buttons, dials and sub-menues. Am I condemned to lug around an 88 note keyboard for the rest of my life?
Can anyone out there help me?

Depends on your budget.
Buy Nord Stage EX 76 Keyboard | Stage Digital Pianos | Musician's Friend Nord Stage 76
Product: PC3 | Kurzweil Music Systems Semi-weighted though, but apparently not bad

Otherwise, a Studiologic midi controller
Buy Studiologic VMK-176plus Controller Keyboard | Keyboard Controllers | Musician's Friend
plus sound module of some sort could work if you're desperate for 176 keys, other than that I'm not sure.

I'm fairly sure those are the ones around at the moment - nowadays anything less than 88 keys is semi/unweighted.

Korg have recently announced a new keyboard, the SV1 (Stage Vintage Piano). I think it's due in the stores in November.

It's available in either 88 or 73-note versions - each of which have a fully weighted keybed.

Check it out here: Korg - Product Details

That Korg SV1 looks very cool in the demo video.

Any idea what it may sell for? Ballpark guess even?

Thanks for responding, but the Nord semi weighted actions I don't like,, plus their split point is not adjustable.. But I'll ck out the Studiologic
thanks,
Jim

According to Sound On Sound the price is roughly UKP 73-note £1720,

88-note, £1840. (RRP).

That equals about $2900 USD (88-note), but from American websites the price has been quoted around $2200.
