Yet Another Which One?

[Bossyboots]

Hello all, I have just registered on this site and see that the above question is getting tiresome, but at the risk of that, my question is a little different. I have just 31-33"" wide space available for a desktop keyboard. I used to have a marvellous full size Yahama Clavinova but had to sell that due to lack of space. I thought I could get by without playing but I miss it too much. I basically like a good piano and church organ sound and the rest are a plus. I don't think I would like mini keys and would rather lose an octave than that.

So, forgive me if I ask the same question. Can anyone recommend a make and model which would fit the bill (without breaking the bank)? Many thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

What's the budget?

Hello and welcome from me

My keyboard is 5 octaves and 36 inches long, just a few inches too long. It has full size keys, or close to full size. I have a Yamaha YPT-300 that I bought used for USA $ 70. It has nice sounding piano and church organ voices, and hundreds of other voices. I'm quite happy with it. If buying used is acceptable then check craigslist.org. If you find a keyboard advertised that you like then google search the model number and "specification" for details.

At first I was looking on eBay for around £50-£80 secondhand, but as I went on looking, I have decided to also consider a new one which is not yet obsolete. I think I would spend up to £200 on this as I don't expect anything in portable keyboards to equal the Clavinova anyway. However, I am having real difficulty in finding anything less than around 38 inches wide.

Will also look at craigslist (didn't know about that) and check out the links. Many thanks for helping.
