Reviewed Skip to the planner

Players matching key count to repertoire. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate repertoire into a key-count class. Payload, channel count, and distance decide the class. A sample photo does not.

This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Yamaha, Roland, and Arturia. It produces an explainable class so YAMAHA P71 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Sustain Pedal, Roland FP-30X, and Arturia MiniLab 3 can be compared as examples of that class.

The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in CTA. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.

What this page will not do

    Choose key count by recording needed keys. Use real measurements or counts, not a rounded marketing number.

  2. Keep optional extras off until they are real

    This tool has no optional add-ons. If a number is uncertain, calculate a range and keep the more conservative class.

  3. Read the planning class

    Calculate class and treat the headline as a class, not a product name. Matching examples below follow 88 and 25.

  4. Compare official pages, then verify
