I get so many new keyboards at my store that I always read the "feature" page to see what's inside and then play a few styles and sounds first and then I try to read the manual while it lies on top of the keyboard and it always gets in my way. I would use the music racks, but all the manuals keep closing by themselves. The only ones that don't are the Generalmusic ( three ring binder) and the Korg (also a binder).
My worst experience ever was with the MZ2000 which was on loan from Casio a few months ago. I read parts of the manual 4 and 5 times and still couldn't figure anything out! Frustrated and confused, I sent it back!
