Diki,

The one thing I do have is time...my gigs are all arranger based, and no one expects me to show up with a piano.

I believe a 25 lb. digital stage piano with weighted hammer action keys is not too far away...there are some that are very close already...the Roland RD300SX is 34 lbs. and the discontinued Yamaha P70 is only 28 lbs., so it is entirely possible that we will see one.

The NP30's (11.8 lbs)sales success has proved that a lighter, more portable piano is wanted...now if they could just make an 88 weighted hammer version with an improved piano sound....it should be able to squeeze under the 25 lb mark.

I'm like Gary(Jedi)...I don't mind waiting to get what I want.
