Topic: Which MIDI keyboard is most accurate for clavichord and fortepiano?

I am trying to get the most accurate touch for clavichord and fortepiano.

At my disposal I only have three choices:
1) Roland FP-7 Digital Piano;
2) M-Audio Keystation 61es;
3) Casio CTK-2000 61 key songbank keyboard

Please do not suggest I buy a better keyboard than these - if I could, I most certainly would. However, for now I must make the best of it.

Thank you for the advice!

My previous DP was a Roland FP-7. I still think it had a great touch. There is no comparison between the FP-7 weighed action and the other two. It is much easier to phrase evenly and reliably, and input the right amount of velocity on such a high quality keybed.

Thanks aWc,  I appreciate the reply.

The Roland is the one I'll use.

Happy Thanksgiving!
