Hi Allen,

Sorry but I didn't understand: you are looking for a good piano sound, but no 'vintage'? Can't be an acoustic piano sound then, because any good 'vintage' piano sound would be a concert grand.....

Be careful with 61 and 73 note synths. Almost all are about 4mm shorter each octave
than a real acoustic piano or a Hammond.
- not good for playing acoustic piano. If you still want a reasonably good acoustic piano within a 61 key synth, try a Korg Trinity second hand. They are great sounding synths and many times go for less than USD 300. I'm afraid there is no 61 key synth with only a good piano sound.

Hope this helps.

Looking for suggestions.

Considering 61 (or 73) note board with good piano sound. Those with internal speakers frowned upon. Don't want to carry a module so controller/module is out. Don't want vintage, too expensive, too heavy. Nearing the end of my budget, and cost is a prime consideration. Don't need any organ sounds. Pianos & whatever. Used will be considered. Will buy or abandon search by Wednesday when my 2021 arrives, ( I hope) and I realize I can't afford any more gear.

Ebay is totally out of control! The only thing crazier than the asking prices are what some things are being "bid-up" to.

Thanks

Allen
