Is it still made from Wheelie Bin plastic that sags in the middle? The original Compact had the same vinyl casing as the VMK88 controller - Don't put it in your car on a hot day!

I'm also trying to figure out if the keys are fully weighted or semi-weighted.

| Dexibell also will feature a couple of new products, one of which looks like a new portable piano, and the other is the new Classico L3, which you can hear in action in this clip and this one. |

Portable church organ (classico). Looks like there is a niche market for this

You had me hoping, but it's only one manual and has no pedals, much less "real" pedals. (Concave, radiating, 32 note.)

But then, it looks like this one is actually mobile...

A light weight folding cabinet. Pedals and keyboards that can be dropped in. The electronics in a separate module. Quick connect plugs. That's my idea of a mobile organ.
If it could be transported in the back of my Outback and moved without a forklift (or a bunch of friends), then I'd call it portable. The biggest single piece is the pedal board, and I can't think of any way of making that smaller while still being functional. But the rest could either fold up or be easily dismantled.
(My Kronos and Tyros in decent cases, along with amps and ancillary equipment fit in my Outback, if the back seats are down.)
But that market niche is probably very small. When I want to learn organ, I'll probably just get a used Allen on eBay. They're usually somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,000. Building a virtual organ from Classic MIDI Works (https://www.midiworks.ca/) would be nice, but not cheap.
