Um, hopefully this is the right place to put this. I couldn't think of anywhere else it could go.
Anyway, I use my full size computer for all of my music work because my laptop doesn't handle Finale very well, and it's a pain in the ass to try to use the mousepad for it. This means that whenever I can't figure something out one my computer, and I have to actually play it, I have to go upstairs to my piano. This gets a bit tiresome if I have to do it several times in one sitting. Plus there are lots of times that it would likely go faster if I could play it, but I don't because it's not particularly convenient.
Before anyone wants to call me lazy, I do have some very bad health problems that make it difficult for me to even move on some days, let alone make it up and down the stairs.
I'm looking into getting a small keyboard, preferably with a MIDI connector so that I can record straight to my computer, to keep downstairs with me. I was wondering if anybody here could recommend one to me, or at least recommend a reliable brand? I've only ever used a Yamaha and a Casio, and neither of them make the sort of keyboard that I'm looking for.
