Are there any digital pianos on market with good key action but with narrower keys?
Or at least MIDI-keyboards that have the proper length of the keys, but with slightly reduced width?

No, key size is standardized. I wouldn't recommend that you work with a non-standard keyboard width anyway, because you would have a lot of difficulty playing any other keyboard.– BobRodesFeb 22, 2016 at 3:05

1@BobRhodes: As this question shows, this is a de facto standard at best, but there seem to be no significant deviations.– guidotFeb 22, 2016 at 14:27

@JBeurer Well, I've played a harpsichord with narrower keys than a piano. It was like playing a different instrument, and it's always a good idea to learn more than one. But I can easily reach an octave or a seventh or ninth without looking on the piano, because I know where they are. I don't recommend that the OP learn an instrument with narrower keys because he won't be able to play most of the keyboards out there. So, my answer was intended as a practical one, and I'll stick with it as such.– BobRodesMay 15, 2016 at 19:16

@BobRodes why are all my comments gone?– JBeurerJul 26, 2018 at 7:50

@JBeurer I don't know. Either a technical problem, or some moderator deleted them, or some other explanation that doesn't occur to me.– BobRodesJul 27, 2018 at 4:22

purchase original F. Chopin Pleyel http://piano.pleyel.fr/piano-classique/piano-a-queue-p204-bleu-noir.html?lng=EN not sure that modern has narrow keys, the other unrealistic way is to ask people from Yamaha, Korg, Casio and Roland to make a digital copy of Chopins and Bachs instruments. My Yamaha with dynamic light keys has a 3-4 mm narrower octave than the ones with hammer action pianos.
