Im hesitating between a 73 and 88 keys Piano 5

[sipsip]

Another point in favor of the 88 is that i guess it gonna be easier to sell in the future as people are after 88 than 73 keys i suppose..

I’m not sure about that. The 73 has the big advantage of its portability/form factor.
Besides my Piano 5 88 I also have a Stage Compact 73 and it works in almost any situations. I’m regularly playing only one single piece (from Mussorgsky) where I miss the (there non-existing) E flat.
So think again of your typical "repertoire" and use. Saving 600 euros sounds quite interesting.

Fair point! Yea im still thinking about it. The last thing i need to be sure is if 73 keys gonna be enough when using split modes. From what i have tried it seems that yes thanks to the octave shift, but i need to be sure

I just saw that the offer is ending tomorow so it is putting me on a edge!!

Did the dealer give you a reason why he is selling the 73 model at such an unusually high discount? Why can't he give you a comparable discount on the 88? Did you ask?

according to their site this is because they are destocking some products before the stock refill which is occuring, coincidence, tomorow aha..

They have a pretty big shop and even if i never bought to them they seem pretty legit

I'm sort of done with 88 key gigging boards. I never miss the notes, and they're 50% more of a hassle to move. I have a NP4 to sell, then that's it.

I used to haul around an Ensoniq TS-12. 76 keys, 55 pounds, plus 20 or so pounds for the case. Even my NP4 is 15 lb lighter…and my NS3C a mere 22.

If you play or planning to play stride piano using bass octaves then 88 key is essential

In all my gigging days (since the late 70’s) I’ve never carried an 88. It’s always been a 73/76 for piano. Even a 61 for a while, which really didn’t work out all that well.

Just picked up a Piano 5 73 two weeks ago. It will be put into action in a week or two.
