My Casio PX-5S has been a good workhorse for my weekend warrior life. Unfortunately, it's starting to go. Key sensors are failing resulting in loud notes, no sound and/or double notes. Always at the worst time! I tried blowing air into the problem keys with no luck.
Looking to replace the board with a new/used one and could use some advice.
- Use Mostly as a duo
- Sounds - I typically use the major patches programmed in the keyboard. I don't create my own but do alter a little bit with eq. I don't use a computer or virtual sound
- Need a strong piano, decent organ, electric piano, strings - nothing needs to be too fancy
- Keybed - used to the Casio but adjusting hasn't been a problem
- Needs to be lightweight
- I don't typically use splits and layering much anymore. too much of a pain on the Px-5s
I've had a number of keyboards. Loved the Korg SV-1 ease of use, sound and playability. However, I got rid of it as it \was too heavy and piano sound was meh. Had a Nord Electro at one point but it had too much going on and again, piano was meh
Any tidbits and advice would be great - This way I can investigate and try to find a place to try one or two out. Unfortunately, not many places have keyboards for trial.
Thanks for any help!
