I'm a Guitarist/singer songwriter who plays keys about 20% of the time on stage. I curious to know if anyone makes a 4 octave (or 46 to 49 Key) board that has decent acoustic and electric piano tones. I know 4 octives is weird....One of my hobbies is to re-purpose old broken instruments that are beyond repair. For my current project I would like to find a 4 octave keyboard that I plan to fit into a gutted chord organ..thus the board size is important. I can modify the old organ some but don't want ruin the unique vintage asthetic of the old frame.. I have never seen a professional level keyboard at 4 octaves. I suspect its because nobody would buy one...Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? Every 61 key is just too large to fit into the organ frame...
Anyone Make a Live-Pro Quality Keyboard in only 4 octaves

Post some pics and let us all have a look if this gets anywhere.
My suggestion - check the current crop of 49 key midi controllers and give Thomann a ring to see if they've any V-Machines left. Last time I looked they were being discounted. The V-Machine is small - will cope with a piano/electric piano VST and you should be able to hide the V-Machine and the cabling inside the box.
Good luck.

Roland Sk-500 ? http://www.roland.com/products/en/SK-500/ Bit dated, sounds-wise, though.
You'd get more choice with a separate controller / sound module combination.
