OMG! Here's the smallest 'MOST PORTABLE' lightweight arranger keyboard available yet :


Play 'n' Roll Electronic Piano

"This innovative portable piano unrolls to reveal a 49-key, four-octave electronic keyboard that sounds amazingly like a real piano. Its integrated keypad with digital display provides myriad options and inspirations for the aspiring or experienced player.

You choose from 100 realistic instrument tones — including piano, saxophone, harp and guitar — with a selectable "sustained notes" function. The rhythm accompaniment includes 100 different patterns in 13 musical styles, from rumba and rock 'n' roll to disco and country.

Have fun creating your own original music using recording and playback capabilities. Need a demo? Play 'n' Roll has 10 popular songs built in. The speaker is built into the keypad, along with a volume control dial. For big sound, connect Play 'n' Roll to a stereo amplifier or a home theater sound system via the auxiliary output jack. Input jack lets you play privately with your own headphones.

The entire piano rolls up into its own drawstring pouch. Plug it into any outlet with the included AC adapter; or for portability, it also runs on 4 AA batteries (order separately). Measures 10 1/2" x 2" x 2" and weighs 2 lbs".

This has been out for quite some time now, and even WERSI (German organ brand) brings it out under their own name.

The good thing besides it's portability is that if you like a soft touch to the keys, roll it out on a towel, for those who like the feel of piano (weighted) keys, use a hardboard

Scott, its obvious you haven't actually used this thing. The reponse time after hitting the keys is terrible, and I think it has a polyphony of 2. No kidding.

It might be kinda nice for the hell of it, i mean its a lot smaller than any full size arranger, but id think the key feel between that and the real thing would throw you off a lot and it would interfere with your playing.
