- My requirements are for a keyboard that feels as much like a piano as
- possible. A knowledgeable friend of mine recommended the Fatar Studio 90
- keyboard, 88 keys, fully weighted. Its a dummy/motherkeyboard so it has no
- sounds, so a seperate sound module is needed. The keyboard cost 499 pounds
- before Christmas but now costs 599 pounds. If it had not been for the price
- increase I would have had one to play with by now :(.
