Expensive, but the Teenage Engineering OP-1 is great if you can swing it.

Battery for days and days and completely self-contained. You can create entire songs on the go.

Though maybe more of a synth than portable piano — depends on what you’re looking for.

Cute, but doesn't have a touch-sensitive keyboard, which makes this a no-go for me.

It does look cute, but is also fairly formidable.

And a software update earlier this year introduced velocity sensitivity.

Too many bells and whistles, just give me a good grand piano sound with a mini size touch sensitive keyboard.

The OP-1 could be that, but the keys look awkward, have very little travel, and I don't really believe you can fix touch sensitivity as an afterthought with a software update, though I could be wrong.
