Couple of points here...firstly it depends on what instrument you learnt to play on..if you played piano the 76/88 is a must, if you played organ then 61 is acceptable, remember the worlds most fantasic pipe organs have only 61 or 56 note keyboards.
When Laurens Hammond started manufacturing the Tonewheel organ he only put a 25 note pedal boards on them, not a full size 32 note board...why? because he found that most players found 25 pedals were enough and the extra cost of putting a full pedal board on was not commercially viable. (The RT3 was produced in smaller quantities to satify the need for full padel boards)

I must admit I am begining to hate the number 76, I see it see so much on this forum being bandied around....61 notes are here to stay...get used to it or buy a separate 76 note Midi controller to satify your 76 note addiction.
