I travel a lot and I am a musician. I am looking for a portable keyboard, the size of a midi-controller keyboard (it doesn't have to have a lot of keys as it is only to write basic backing chords to vocal lines) It needs to have a speaker or head-phone jack and the ability to stand alone. Something similar to the size of the Akai Synth Station 25 would be amazing. I am aware of roll-up pianos...But they really aren't what I'm looking for and are still too long. I want something I can play in my lap while on the go. Any help?
it's the right size, but again, it's more of a midi-controller that requires you to have a computer available. i'm constantly in airplanes/trains/hotel rooms and while i do have my laptop, its just a bit much sometimes when all i want to do is play.
I've just found out that googling for 'keyboards', while trying to avoid the computer ones, is not an easy task!
Instead I tried searching the websites of specialist music shops or keyboard suppliers. Still no luck.
Lastly I've tried good ol' Argos. This might not be quite as small as you'd like but it otherwise seems to meet with your requirements:

that's not bad at all, chris! thanks! if anyone could find one just a littleeeee smaller, it would be perfect, but otherwise this one might have to work.
i appreciate you looking though, i've been searching all over with no real luck!
This is slightly smaller. Although the description here doesn't mention a headphone socket , I've found a reference elsewhere which confirms that it does have one:

(That's the smallest keyboard I can find with full size keys).
