any recomendations for a digital piano

eyup Vim.

We bought one a few years ago too, a Casio Previa, think it was around 5 or 600 quid. Whilst it sounds good, the keys are a little heavy, not a big deal, but could be a deal breaker for the player. I used to play piano for many years, and it feels little "gooey" for me, but the kids get on with it fine, though do say their teacher's real one is better to play

Supposedly they all have the same keyboard,

not quite, go up in budget and you will be getting wooden keys that provide a more authentic feel

Ah, I didn't know that. OK, it may be worth spending more then.

bloody awkward!! It's built into a hillside and is on about 4 levels with narrow stairs and tight corners.

It may be useful that, although it's 4' 4" long (full 88-key length, nothing you can do about that obviously) the P35 is only 12" front to back and 6" tall, so getting it into a small space or round tight corners is easy, and it weighs surprisingly little - a very easy carry for one person.

yeah, we've just been looking at various digital pianos, and even the ones that come as a complete unit (i.e. with a built in stand that make it look like an upright) would be a bit unwieldy. A separate keyboard and stand would be more flexible. Sadly I think our lifestyle is always gonna involve banana boxes filled with 2nd hand stuff.

@VimFuego .. PM Tony Rath .. he's a piano teacher and he has a decent digital keyboard that sits on a stand and sounds pretty good. I can't remember the make .. it's designed to be portable for the gigging musician so it folds away. He'll also know what his pupils use ..

If you've got 2k to spend, consider the nord stage 2. Probably be more useful long term than just a piano
