Longer distances considered for the right compensation.

(also booking tunings).

Asking for some feedback ...

I need to update my keyboard.
My old Yamaha P-80 doesn't owe me anything, it's worked well for many years.

BUT...
It's older technology and the metal cabinet weighs a ton.
I'm almost 72 and have health issues, so I'm hoping for something that sounds/plays good but doesn't weigh a ton.

I'm finding more gigs that don't have a piano necessitating my bringing my own.
Like many piano players I prefer the feel and sound of a good acoustic (I'm also a professional piano tuner).

Realistically I need a decent keyboard I can take to gigs that don't have a piano.
By the same token I'd prefer not to break the bank for something I hope to only use sporadically.

Right now I'm looking at these three (on Sweetwater ... https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/best-88-key-digital-pianos/ )

Yamaha P-225B
Roland RD-88
Kawai ES920

Anyone familiar with the above?
Opinions, feedback, recommendations?

Thanks for your input.

From my gig at the Homeport Inn and Tavern in Searsport Maine.
Steinway grand, beautiful setting, great food, wonderful staff.
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it 😄
Hoping to return to playing there next week.
