OP Dazzie2 Full Member D Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 114	I want to buy a new digital piano without all the wood so that I can put in my car for travel when working away, I only have a 61 midi keyboard with 30w studio speakers but its not that good and I want to upgrade to a 88key, I am open to it having onboard sounds but I also have a good laptop so vst is an option . I don't mind spending up to £4000 on one, but most of all I want something that feels and sounds like a piano. So does anyone know what my best options are ?

Have you thought what would be the max dimensions and weight? You of course don't need to go to anything crazy expensive to improve from what you have now. A Kawai ES110 could be a pretty good affordable portable piano. Then there are the often mentioned Kawai ES8, Yamaha P-515 and Roland FP90. Studiologic has a few controller keyboards. Roland too. And some peoples' solution to all the world's problems seems to be the Kawai VPC1 and a VST. But it ain't small. Some limiting factors would help.
