Although I am a pianist by profession, I have to have a keyboard for those times when there is no piano at the venue.
I have been using a Yamaha PSR320 for about 12 years and it has 61 keys.I am thinking of upgrading to a 76 key providing I can get it and the stand in the boot of my Nissan Micra.
I am looking for a nice tone and touch sensitive.
Has anyone any ideas of what would be a good one to go for?
All ideas welcome.

I have a Yamaha DGX205 which I bought second hand for the purpose of preparing for school keyboard teaching. It has touch sensitive keys, 76 key, reasonably portable but not very light. I don't know what the current DGX 2xx models are in this range.

I also had a Yamaha P70 stage piano whilst my house was being refurbished so I could move it around. This was a full 88 key keyboard with weighted keys - although they are lighter than a real acoustic piano. I had a standard keyboard stand for it and sustain pedal. They did a P140 as well at the time - it had more options for outputs to PA etc but otherwise it was the same as the P70. You would have to look up measurements to see if it would fit in the car boot - could be tight.

It's been a while since I owned a Micra, but when transporting some awkward items, I used to fold down the back seats, and flip down the front passenger seat too (this was a 2-door hatchback though). That allowed me to transport a few flatpack bookcases and the likes, so if you can do the same, you might be able to accomdate the keyboard. Not sure about positioning of the stand to avoid any damage though...
