I have three 88 key Roland pianos (A90, RD300, RD800), and like their 64 key RD64, but that's too small. I need pro quality, not plastic $300 keys.
Thanks for the responses. I'm looking into the Dexibell (VIVO S3 Pro, I think it is). Looks promising.In addition to the ones that Kaneda mentioned (and assuming that 73 keys is close enough), there's Nord Electro 6HP, Yamaha P-121, Dexibell P3 and S3 Pro.
Thanks for the shout out Gary,Talk to @CowboyNQ about the Kurzweil SP4-7.
I'm not sure if you noticed my original post. I have three nice 88 key weighted keyboards, most recent of these being the Roland RD800, which I really like. I was once a fan of semi-weighted digital keyboards because weighted keys hadn't yet arrived. I don't intend to go back. I tried a Yamaha CP73 and really did not like it. So, I'm pretty much looking at the Korg options and the Dexibell S3, at the moment, because they have weighted keys. I think Crumar's 73 key deck is weighted, as well, so I'll go back and look at it. I know it has strong EP voices but not sure of the options for AP.Thanks for the shout out Gary,
@DavidDMusic, I no longer own the SP4-7 but Gary's right I did use it for gigging for quite a few years. The only reason I sold it was I wanted to go with a fully weighted action and 88 keys.
It has what I consider to be an excellent semi-weighted action. Quite responsive and not too bad for playing piano on. The bonus is it's half decent for playing organ/synth patches on too. A bit of a compromise all around, but a pretty good one. Another benefit of the light action was the fact it was pretty light weight for a "stage piano". Sounds good too.
Not the most versatile thing going around, but it does what it does well. I recommend trying one before you buy as actions are very subjective. It certainly doesn't feel like a hammer action.
I did. I entered this thread because Gary mentioned my use of the SP4-7 specifically. To repeat myself - it feels quite different to a hammer action and I recommend IF you were considering going in that direction to physically try one first.I'm not sure if you noticed my original post.
