B- Semi Weight

I dread the thought of going back to an actual piano these days. After years of arrangers, I reckon the old finger muscles will be well shot. A digital brewer's droop, if you will.

I prefer light, responsive action, certainly not weighted. However, I also prefer 76 keys.
Both the Roland G70 and Ketron SD1 and Audya work great, although my semi-arthritic right wrist knows by the end of the four-hour night that there is a little more resistance.
Only true, weighted piano action would be a deal-killer at this time, but in a few more years I may be forced to use the lightest action available, even at the expense of 76 notes.

I quess I did say something true otherwise you don't react this way. And you can't compare a 900 Euro keyboard (Korg PA500) with a 1800 Euro keyboard(PSR s910).

Behind what Ian?

I don't think I am behind. You react to aggressive. I am not the first one who said this about the Yamaha keys. Don't forget I used to play Yamaha and I have played the PSR s900. And the build quality today isn't what it was in the past. Why? I don't know.

Hi,
for arranger playing, doesn't worry me. I can adapt to any key feel. Roland, korg, yamaha, ketron, technics, had them all.

If I tried to play solo piano on a 76 note keyboard, I found it awfully difficult.
I need the feel of fully weighted keys.

Even though my CLP170 Clavinova was pretty much top of the line in it's day, it still doesn't have the same wonderful feel my ex Yammie Baby Grand used to have.

best wishes
