Piano student of 12 years, finally heading off to college. Unfortunately, I have severe doubts as to the chances of our beautiful Yamaha C7 fitting in my dorm room, so it looks like I'm going to need a digital piano of some sort. I don't really know anything about digital pianos, but I'd like a pretty high quality one that at least somewhat satisfy my piano needs until I can afford (or inherit, whichever comes first) a real piano of my own. My price range will probably be in the 1-2k area.

While I do play classic piano pieces, the keyboard will probably be seeing some time on stage a la Ben Folds Five. I'm not too interested in learning features or a huge variety of sounds - if it has a good grand piano sound, it'll probably stay on that for as long as I have it. I've been thinking about a Yamaha P120, but I haven't gotten a chance to play any keyboards yet. It definitely needs to be 88 keys, and since I *will* be living in a dorm, it'll have to be something that can fold up.....

Any help is much appreciated, since I've really never looked into digital pianos. Once again, thanks for the help.

I have enjoyed some Korg slab units. Nice actions and good piano sounds as well. Try the 200 or 300. I think the prefix was either SP or SG - I don't remember which.

BTW, you may get more response at the digital piano forum.

good luck,

I like the feel of the Yamahas. P120 ($1100), if you don't need built-in speakers (use headphones), P90 ($1000). If you don't mind sacrificing features, the P60 ($750).
