which keyboard should I get?

[King Ben]

I have the Yamaha MO8 workstation and I need a smaller more portable keyboard. something cheap with only 61 keys. any suggestions?

thanks, King Ben

New? Used? Budget? What type of music will you be playing?

 

[King Ben]

New or used, doesn't matter as long as it's in pretty good condition. Probably under $1,200. Arranger, color screen if possible.
the Yamaha psr-s910 seems to be what Im looking for, but it is a bit outside of my budget, if you know of a used one for sale that would be great.

PSR3000?

and why is the color screen such an important "feature"?

 

[King Ben]

I just like color screens lol
thanks for the recommendation the psr3000 seems perfect. can you load more styles on to it?

 

[Skipp]

Yea you can. it's a high-end PSR keyboard that was basically a baby Tyros2, just like the s910 is a baby tyros 3... And Just like the PSR2x00 was a baby Tyros 1

Yamaha Tyros 2
Korg PA1x
All these models have been on the market for a few years and are now reduced or availible second hand. Most would have been top of the range and just replaced by new models.
