Korg SV-1 73-Key Vintage Stage Piano (Black)
This is nice.
I bought this to use as a nice-feeling and nice-looking midi controller for MainStage. The keys feel nice, but the buttons feel a little cheap. Also, I'm not convinced that the 12AX7 tube serves a purpose. It may not even be in active circuitry, which is really lame. Please correct me if I'm wrong about the tube.

Perfect balance for me = a real piano I can move.
Plays great, sounds great, and I get somebody else to haul it if I need to move it. KORG offers lots more samples, but Im happy with the presets, and fine-tuning the prests. If I were hauling it all over town every night, I would have got something lighter... again, for me, it plays great and sounds great.

I tried a Korg SV-1 88 and also a SV-1 73
Terrible piano sounds, awful organ sounds, good electric piano sounds. Action much too heavy. The 88 weighs a ton. The 73 isnt much better. Both are much too heavy to lug around from gig to gig. I love the design of it, and the ease of use, but I ended up selling both of them.
