BarryR Junior Member Registered: 12/25/12 Posts: 8 Loc: Tampa Bay, FL	I am an adult beginner and learning using both Alfred's piano lessons & theory books..I have a Yamaha YDP-181 I use for "real" practice..Can someone suggest a small keyboard to practice with outside on the hammock or lounge chair that I can hook into "Garage Band" when the desire strikes...or is it a bad idea altogether and keep practicing on the big one... Thanks... Barry

That was my other choice at the time, (P155), but my wife liked the Arius...So fewer than 88 keys..Lap or desktop Edited by BarryR (01/05/13 03:39 PM)

Kawai James 6000 Post Club Member Registered: 09/06/07 Posts: 6870 Loc: Hamamatsu, Japan	How about a Yamaha NP-11 or NP-31? Light and compact - they can even run on batteries.
