Thanks Mike, Jon and Frank,
It sounds good but I would be a bit concerned about the small keys, I've not been playing that long and my piano teacher has just spent a year getting me to stop looking at the keys. Any thoughts about the R3? It isn't much bigger but it's quite a lot more expensive and doesn't run on batteries but would sit quite nicely on top of the tron.

See: http://www.mikedick son.org.uk/ codetalkers/ index.html
The sound is also enormously big for such a small instrument. It almost makes me forget ever having the horror that was the M1.

No, but I would recommend that you consider a MicroKorg. They run on batteries or a A/C adapter and with a set of headphones, you can play it anywhere. It fits in carry on luggage and is loads of fun to play.FrankIn a message dated 3/26/2009 11:04:05 P.M.

I have seen roll up pianos advertised and read one review anybody tried one?
Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make meals for under $10.
