I use this stage piano in my rock band, barkerhound(.com). It is full length (88 notes) with what I would call semi-weighted keys.

I'm actually a pianist, so my knowledge of keyboards/synths is more limited.

However, as a pianist going to a keyboard I love the action and feel of these keys, there's really something to play against and the responsiveness is nice - not too light.

It has 6 different sound options - Piano, Electric Piano, Harpsichord, Vibraphone, Organ and Strings plus various other functions which to be honest, I don't really go near - I pair this Korg up with a Nord rack (better piano/organ sounds).

On saying that, I will be using this Korg as part of a piano/vocal duo and know that it is light enough to be wheeled about in it's flight case (I'm a girl, the boys I know carry it with even more ease).

If you're looking to replace a piano for gigs, this is a satisfactory substitute and much easier to transport!

The piano sound is really quite nice for an electric piano, much more than adequate.

It's very easy to get to grips with, or to use with external racks for a wider variety of sounds (I've used both a JV and the current Nord rack with this piano).;
