Want to buy a board that has semi-weighted keys (not weighted or fully weighted). Can have a few extra instrument sounds and maybe drum tracks (besides piano)...don't need anything else on it.

Can be 61 key or 76 key.

Doesn't have to have onboard speakers.

But the semi-weighted keys would have to be decent quality.

Do not want anything with GHS keys on it.

Have any ideas?

Thanks.......

Did you have a price range in mind?

So you are looking for a synth I guess.

Try if you can find Yamaha ex5. Best keys ever.And a really good synth too.Basically, there are too many options.

Seems the EX5 is a tad dated.......

Anything newer with a good-quality build?

Probably dated as well, but has an excellent build......I have a Roland G7 that has been played probably no more than 4-5 hours and is ABSOLUTELY AS NEW. If you're interested, I'll let you have it cheap as I don't use it at all.

The Yamaha MO8 has a nice weighted feel with 88 keys.

I have neighbour who has a G7 and simply loves it.

Here's a great 2 part demo on the G7.
