It is big + heavy, though - so if you're going to buy it and leave it in the house/apartment, you're (shes') ok. Otherwise, you may want to look for something lighter as I am doing. Thanks man for the suggestion. I should've said that earlier, but somehow I lost my password. OK, the weight is not a problem. But the keyboard is already 6 years old. And I've got an impression that Kurzweil keyboards' build is not that reliable. So how many years should I expect from it? Also I know that PC88 is the one of highend gigs when it was released in 1995, but hell, 10 years is quite a long time in the digital world. So how does it compare to some of the now mid ranged gigs, like Yam P90? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one should I go for then? beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend of mine still uses a PC88 for band gigs - probably a 10yr. old keyboard. I use a 10 yr. old keyboard (Ensoniq KS32). Just 'cause the thing is 10 yrs. old doesn't mean it's about to break down. Especially if you're going to leave it at home, not gig with it. Gigging takes its toll on gear: in and out of the house, in and out of the gig venues, every - single - time...
