small portable keyboard needed with standard key size

[eins]

I want to be able to practice while on idle at work or away from home. Looking for a two to three octave portable with standard size keys.

Keys are the problem. There are a few with small keys (for kids, mainly), I don't want those.

The only standard key size ones I found have 61 or more keys. Makes them way too big for my purpose. I can't use those.

Thanks for your help!

I am assuming you want a keyboard with realisitic action too. If so, the closest match I can think of is the Yamaha P60. I think it's the smallest (88 keys) you are going to find for a piano with good action.

The smallest and lightest keyboards I have seen are MIDI only keyboards that are semi-weighted and have no sound replication onboard. I have used the M-Audio Keystation 61es and it is extremely light (you could carry it with three fingers), but the action is only semi-weighted. This is not that bad though and the keys are full in size. There are also buttons to easily change the octave up and down. To get audio you will have to hook it up to a laptop or small synth. I know they make some really small synths that you can just carry around.

They also make a 49e which is even smaller...

I think the p60 is the best inexpensive "beater board" out there

There's already been a lot of discussion about short-scale digital and acoustic pianos on this forum.  Why not use the search facility to find the conversations?

To get you going, here's one:

Besides myself, at least one other person has now had a Yamaha P-80 cut down to 53 or 49 keys.  The resultant portable piano works perfectly!

Thanks for the link Peter. It shows me that what I want, I'll never find. I was hoping for a $45 thingie that has keys the same size as my piano and that's about it. I don't care about weighted or not or any sound other than plink plonk. It was meant for memorizing key successions in this early phase of my piano education (I'm only 3 1/2 months into it now!).

I'll keep practicing at home.
