Keyboard hammer action 76

[Fmoov]

That's basically my requirement. I want a lightweight portable weighted or hammer action keyboard with multiple voices-
Pianos-organs-bass-drums, not necessarily a lot of synths. All this for solo gig accompaniment. I've owned and played Yamahas, Korgs and Rolands. I'm partial to the Yamaha action. I don't need new so I can troll Ebay and CL for a good deal , just need some opinions and recommendations.
Thanks

I have a weighted 88 Equinox for sale. Heavily gigged and still in vg condition. I'm the original owner. Purchased new in 2001. Weight 72 pounds.

A couple of 88 key suggestions for ya. They do meet the lightweight requirement though.

Casio Privia PX-5S, or PX-360 or PX-560 or Roland Juno DS88 or if yer looking for older and used maybe a used Nord Stage.

Also Kurzweil has just announced the SP-6 which may fill the bill as well.

Do you know if the CASIO WK-7600 is a graded action or semi-weighted keyboard?

The WK-7600 is an unweighted synth/organ style keyboard.

I'd recommend the Roland Juno DS88, it actually is lighter than a number of weighted key 76 keys out there being only 36 lbs or the Yamaha MOXF 88 which is even lighter at 33 lbs.

The Casio Privia PX-5S actually weighs in at about 25 lbs.

But I agree the Juno DS88 is a more versatile instrument.
