Casio Privia 310, 88 nicely weighted not-to-stiff keys. Best realistic
piano action to play, like a studio piano. The first Grand 1's sound
quality is equal to IMO the best Roland and Yamaha portable 88's -
check out Harmony-Central Reviews also. For $600 you get a great grand
piano that will also work as a simple 'player piano' controller. I use
one to play my Electro Rack and Roland VK8M.
