best gig board--weight/action/piano sound??

Post by colonelkeys »

Asked a question on the Rd300 last nite because the Roland tech guy I talked to recommended it as we look to get the best piano sound and action in a board my wife can carry. Not sure I want to limit it to price at this point. Just looking for as many suggestions as the helpful members here care to offer!! Thanks.

Basically you loose keybed quality when you go light weight. Weighted action literally means there are counter weight hammers inside. :) So that's the trade off.
