Subject:Studiologic SL-760 v. Roland A-37

If you want 76 keys, you should also look at the Roland A-37, which
recently came out to replace the A-33. The action on the two is
similar -- a semi-weighted thing. "Semi-weighted" is NOT the same as
synth action (e.g., the Fatar 161, which has really great synth
action). I think the concept with semi-weighted is that rather than
feeling like your pushing against a spring action for the entire
travel of the key, you get a little of that momentum-thing happening
as you do with weighted action. But only "semi"!

The A-37 can be battery operated, whereas the Fatar has that lovely
wall wart. I think the A-37 is more functional. The Fatar 760
weighs a fair bit more as well. If you can find a used A-33, that
could do nicely as well.
