Hi everyone,
I was searching for a " small " piano for traveling, and Roland features that new piano, 61 keys and, apparently a grand piano " like " action.
Any feedback on that new keyboard?

Probably "synth action", not "weighted action". So it's not a _good_ piano substitute.

There are lots of 61-key small keyboards from Casio and Yamaha. Maybe the Go: is better. Look for reviews.

At least the key shapes look better than what Yamaha NP series has to offer, even if they're not weighted. Cheap keyboards usually have horrible piano sounds. I bet the GO: Piano comes with better ones.

That S1 isn't really that small - 88 keys and some overhang too. Have I missed something?

The website says:

Number of Keys: 61 keys (Ivory Feel and Box-shape Keys with velocity)
Touch Sensitivity: Key Touch: 3 types

So, I'm going to suggest "no". A shame.

Yes. Put your glasses on Greg! Under six octaves!

You got the wrong one. This is the GO:PIANO

Of course, you won't get a hammer action inside a 3.9 kg package, which you can carry with one hand.

The price. Some people aren't comfortable traveling with a $2000 digital piano, which can get stolen at any time.

Roland RD64 and an ipad .. (there are some very good piano apps)

Where have you seen the price?

By looking at the instrument's build and materials used and knowing what small manufacturers can afford.

It might even cost more than $2000 (like Clavia Nord), it might cost a bit less. But don't expect it to be anywhere near the 330 bucks price point of the Go Piano.

I think that every keyboard is a good piano substitute. It's only a matter of circumstances, ask Miguel Ángel Estrella

Heh, my piano tech, who was also a concert pianist, taught himself how to play piano on taped together pieces of paper that he drew the keyboard on. Super portable, and it really works out your mental practice skills!

Even Dexibell's fuller/full sized S3 and S7 stage pianos are under $2000, I believe. (But I do think in Euros.)

Clearly Roland's product is meant for the low-cost battery-powered extra-light with good sounds niche. The same Yamaha NP and Reface CP goes for (but without offering proper full size keys).

A regular 73 keys stage piano without built-in speakers and battery meant for gigging doesn't really belong into this category.

Sergei practiced Rach 3 on his dummy keyboard during his trans-Atlantic crossing to give the premiere of, er, Rach 3 in NY on 28/11/1909 (11/28/1909 for Americans).

I believe it was just a silent keyboard. No weighted keys. Not even modeled sounds

Glenn Gould didn't even bother with a dummy keyboard. He'd just study the sheet music.

Steve: oh yeah - sorry about that. So it starts on an A in the bass - cool!

Greg.

I think it is clearly shot at yamaha NP with upped up connections like BT and sound (and better battery life). Similar weight to NP12. Maybe even better keyboard.
Not bad, but people can get NP 12 for a song these days. The Go piano is nearly 1.5-2x the price and I don't think it will give much more.
I have NP12 and would not call it anymore portable than a NP32. They are both already too long to carry comfortably so if portability is an issue, you actually don't save much space on 61 key than on 72. I think Roland should do 72 keys, would make much more sense.
As soon as you go to weighted keys, the weight jump from 10 pounds to 25 so that makes some difference.
