My daily commute by train means that I often have two-digit minute time slots available that I would very much like to use productively for my newest hobby. I read some books on music theory etc, but that is rather dry and doesn't lead to more understanding, especially not when I cannot immediately apply what I learned. Hence: Is there a kind of "practice instrument" that I can take with me? I was thinking about a standalone CBA keyboard with:
Another big plus would be a bass section, maybe even detachable, but not a hard requirement.
- about 2.5-3 octaves, three rows, like my Hohner Amati IIIM
- some sort of tone generator. I do not expect concert grade sound generation or tons of voices, just something that sounds like an accordion
- no "bellows simulation" of any kind
- headphone capabilities, no speaker required
- lightweight and small -- backpack size
- durable in the sense of "needs to survive floating around my backpack" and "being played in less than ideal conditions"
