accessible stage pianos? (self.Blind)
submitted by Laser_Lens_4
I've been getting pretty hard into music production and synthesizers, and I want my next instrument to be a digital piano. I've played in the past, and now I'm looking for something nice to use mainly for recording and live playing.
​
I'm familiar with offerings like the Roland fp30, Korg D1, and Kawai es110, but I'm interested in higher-end stage pianos. I've been recommended the Korg SV-2 since it has no display, but apparently there's software involved which is a detractor (since I'm almost entirely certain it won't be accessible) but not a deal breaker. I'd like to know if there are any other accessible offerings around the same price range with a similar feature set. Midi, a good keybed, quality line out, and great sounds are a must. I'll buy from pretty much whoever, though I'm not a big fan of the Yamaha piano sound.
​
Thanks for any suggestions and help.

I’m on an email list called VIBE that is for blind musicians to discuss accessible music gear, software, etc. The list is really active, and they’d probably have a good recommendation for you. I’m going to paste their general info below.
that if you know anybody who you
think could benefit from joining this group, could you please paste and
forward the below message to them:
VIBE is a group of blind and partially sighted musicians and for anyone
interested in accessible music, and audio technology with accessibility.
Whether you sing or play for leisure, study or as a profession, in any
genre, VIBE will put you in touch with others who can answer questions
or suggest solutions, and generally help each other out. We have covered
topics including performance, online promotion, tips for playing
different instruments, development of a resource network, and access to
music and audio software and equipment. We have also started an
experiment to collaborate on recording new music.
The simplest way to join is via the Email group. We also run monthly
Zoom events, and the next one will be presented by André Louis, the
accomplished keyboard player and music tech trainer, who will talk about
Komplete Kontrol, the accessible way to use software synthesisers, the
Logic digital audio workstation (DAW), and Jamulus, which lets musicians
play together online without the usual time-lag problems. This will be
on Friday 18 December from 11 to 12:30.
