<html> <body> 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 <h2>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.</h2> <a href="http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=923&ParentId=87" eudora="autourl"> http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=923&ParentId=87 </a> <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-RD700GX-DIGITAL-PIANO?sku=703119" eudora="autourl"> http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Roland-RD700GX-DIGITAL-PIANO?sku=703119</a> Priced here at $2395.00 Andrew Anderson At 10:47 PM 4/23/2008, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">This is my first posting.  One of my clients called looking for a practice keyboard that feels like a piano but is, at least potentially, soundless.  She would like to use it when travelling, etc., so portability is important.  The obvious choice seems like one of the Yamaha touch sensitive keyboards, or something similar, that mimic piano touch fairly closely.  Does anyone know of any other options?
