Does anyone really need 76 keys on their keyboard? Though I have played 76-key boards, I really never felt the necessity to have more than 61 keys. For me, 61 keys makes the board more portable, supplies me with the range of notes that I use 99 percent of the time, and because of the way I play, it's nice to have the little finger of my left handing resting against the edge of the board on the "C" key.

This is not a thread about key feel or touch sensitivity. It's merely a question of whether or not OMB performers really require 76, or 88-key boards. And, do those OMB performers with larger boards actually play the upper and lower extremes of their keyboards routinely, or do they merely play the notes and chords in the middle of the board like piano players.

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Cheers,

Gary
