If your wife played piano, probably look for something with 88 weighted keys as that will be familiar to her and will likely encourage her to play more over something with less keys and synth-type action. Anything in the Yamaha P line-up or the Casio Privia series would probably work out great. I believe some (or most) of the Privia models have USB such that you could use it as a controller for something like Ableton. Futhermore, most any digital piano would have MIDI which you could also easily get into a computer via an audio interface or a $30ish MIDI to USB converter.
