>>9480854dude a full size keyboard is big. the 88 keys alone are around 4 feet long at standard size and that's not including the electronics attached (adds several inches of width behind it, the casing (adds maybe another foot to its length), the stand and the stool
the latter two can be collapsed but the thing itself is too big to take onto a plane and expensive to check, and it's also something i don't want damaged or handled roughly. a good keyboard is a couple grand at least
