yea i've checked..did not see any keyboard thats worth it...the best i saw was s08 and s90 still quite heavy and very expensive..

i was thinking about M Audio Prokeys 88sx..RM1500 and its only 7kg..i don't mind that it does not have built in speakers..

i won't recommend maudio because of the keys' inconsistent velocity sensitivity.

the smallest form currently is casio privia px110 , or the lighter-keys CDP-100.

although this thread is a little old...

the m-audio keystation 88 keys has got no speakers and it's cheap and light, because it's just a plain controller with no sequencer/sound module chips/board inside, with crappy piano key mechanism. means you cannot make any sound and there's no L/R output. sweat.gif

weighted 88 keys keyboard with sound will never built for portability especially talking about good quality piano touch.

if want just controller, get Yamaha KX8. if want good quality sound and weighted touch, there's no cheap way to go. Yamaha motif XS8 is pretty darn nice and can record your songs ala midi sequencing and playback but also pretty darn expensive. sweat.gif
