[CAUT] keyboard for practice

[Andrew Anderson]

Todd,
It sounds like she is looking for the portability of a (electronic) 
stage piano.  Unfortunately the digital piano world has departed from 
the piano world when it comes to weight.  Probably the best such 
instrument is the Roland

RD-700GX: Digital Stage Piano.  This model features Roland's copy of 
the real piano's escapement (after-touch) feel and its effect on 
playing.  These Epianos are capable of nuances and subtle shading 
that others lacking this feature cannot match.  The key-weight is 
still too low to my taste but that seems to be the fare for the course.
