Casio gets more and more innovative, and the PX-S3100/S1100 offer a lot for the money. Notably, the slimline shape is attractive and useful for many consumers. The only shame is that they only come in an 88-key version. I'm a little surprised that Casio is missing the opportunity to make a digital piano which is short as well as slim.
In many threads all over the WWW, I'm reading comments by frustrated pianists who can't find 73-key or 61-key digital pianos with fully graded weighted actions. At present, I only know of one portable piano and one stage piano which have 73 keys with such an action. So little choice, and nothing for the 61-key brigade! There are a few other stage pianos with weighted actions, but these are not graded. The assumption seems to be that anybody purchasing a piano with fewer than an 88 keys is really a keyboardist playing other sounds most of the time, but that's incorrect - some of us do need to practise/rehearse/perform in a pianistic fashion on a shorter piano. It's typically because we need to travel a lot, using small cars, boats, RVs, whatever, but in some cases the practice room or stage is too small for an 88. And even though some of us want to play 88-key digital pianos most of the time, that doesn't stop us needing shorter pianos sometimes.
Does anybody else here feel like I do? Is there a counter argument?
