I am in search of a small travel piano/keyboard (small enough to take as an airplane carry-on). In the movie, "Fame", Bruno had in front of him a small item such as this (about 20-22 FULL-SIZED white KEYS long; flat, rectangular case; probably not much sound, but probably good for practicing voicings while on the road) while studying. Does anyone know of such an item or something similar (besides that flat, rubberized, travel keyboard thing I've been seeing advertised)?

Did you ever figure this one out? I would be interested in knowing if you did and what the outcome was. Thanks

Mozart, haydn used small clavichords as their travel/practice instruments. The smallest examples of these are 39" by 12" by 3" though there are one or two 3/4 sized/pitched versions. search for "Romer clavichord" on images on google for one model of this

Greetings. Did you ever find your travel piano keyboard? If so please indicate if it was a roll up or rigid folding one.
Thanks

I have made a folding keyboard as a sort of prototype idea. I'm thinking of making another one sometime this year based on the flaws I found with this one. Check out my findings at www.travelpiano.com.

I am also looking for a travel keyboard. Has anyone tried the 4 octave roll-type keyboard? Has anyone seen the same concept with 88 keys?
