Certain Aeolian models - One of my favorite bands around today and one of my biggest influences in playing style is The Walkmen. Apart from this site I haven't been able to find much about it, but it seems like it might be one of the smaller/lighter models out there.Ģ. The Eavestaff Pianette - Also known as the Minipiano, I saw a few pictures of one on eBay once and I believe this thing has fewer than 88 keys. Since this piano is being used primarily in a rock context (as opposed to classical or other genres that use the majority of the keyboard) I don't really have much use for the top and/or bottom octaves. I've been particularly interested in pianos that were built with fewer than 88 keys. I've done a bit of research so far but information has proven hard to come by. I'm talking actual pianos that, for one reason or another, were built small and light. So I submit to you, Piano World Forums, this question: what is the smallest, lightest piano you have encountered? Of course I don't mean toy pianos or any other novelty items. The problem is, of course, finding the right piano to take on tour.

Until now we've toured with my Nord Electro 2 which has gotten the job done, but now I want something that is as expressive as our recordings, in which I used both uprights and baby grands. The time has come for another tour and this time I'm dead set on taking along an actual acoustic piano. I'm the resident piano/organ/synth guy for a smallish indie rock band signed to an equally small indie label.
