I know Yamaha makes a darn good regular piano, and I've heard that their electronic keyboards are pretty good. There are dozens of piano stores around Seattle and many of them also sell electronic keyboards.

I'd like to surprise Barbara (she has a birthday coming up), but that could be a bad way to go. I know she's kinda picky about what she wants as far as sound is concerned, and I know touch is most important (as a classic guitarist, I can understand that). So I'd better not try to surprise her. Just encourage her to pick out one that works for her.
