Humbly I say that one of best keyboard manufacturers in the world is Roland. And I'm a biggest fan of Roland. Mine is Roland RD-700 which I bought three years ago. Today, this keyboard is still covered well since I rarely use it now. Business and laziness are combined well in my recent life :)
Why Roland?
If you ask me what brand of keyboard which can last for a long time with less risk to break, I suggest you to choose Roland. Well, generally I will not explain all Roland products in one post but here I will highlight mine, Roland-RD-700.
Roland RD-700

This keyboard is loaded with 64MB stereo sampled piano. Honestly to say, this keyboard is not for a beginner. Look at how the features put on RD-700. They had made me confused because as an amateur, the features are too high and unreachable if you only get some days to recognize all features of RD-700.
The difference of Roland RD-700 from previous series from Roland is on LCD, I think. The graphic is all new and making your eyes more comfortable.
The other significant features are 64 MB internal wave memory in which the stereo sample of pianos can be found here while the powerful apreggiator includes guitar streaming and other magical effects and sounds.
Overall, Roland RD-700 is perfect to use when you are a pro. The price for Roland RD-700 two years ago was $1,500 but I guess today you can get lower price since this is not a new series of Roland keyboard anymore :)
