Ok here is the deal...

Once again, my church is getting a new keyboard because of an up-n-coming keyboard player. This time though, price is and object.

The price range is somwhere between $1,000-$3,000...

Requirements:

• Has to be in price range(or lower)
• At least 76 keys
• Has to have weighted keys
• Would love it if it were a Yamaha(does not have to be)

I'm leaning toward a Yamaha MO8 (88keys)
Any suggestions?

Yahmaha s90es. Same weight and sounds as es, but for much less.

The piano sounds on the MO8 are bad as well.  However, all the other sounds are great, LOL.

Alright thx guys... I want to get the ES8 or the 7 but the stores 'round here don't sell 'em. I'm gonna go with the S90 ES because they sell those...

Have you checked Ebay or Craigslist? The ES8 was discontinued. We use it i church and it is an awesome board. The piano sounds are just great!

I checked Craigslist and there were none/(I know you can't find a new one) and all the ones on eBay are used and have (obvious)scratches on them.

I hate to keep crawling back to the Guitar Center in my area but it looks lke I have to... When I go i'll probably test all the boards and see which one suits my needs.
