Check out live and TV acts...you rarely see any pros using 76 notes keyboards anymore. I guess they don't wish to compromise...I know I wouldn't.
Anyone needing an instrument with more than 61 notes is most likely going to be playing piano on it, and 76 notes of wimpy semi-weighted action is not going to be acceptable to most, if not all, piano players.
Ian, I think you finally turned the light on in my head regarding this wornout discussion. If I was a REAL pro playing stage concerts and such - or even playing regularly for mucho dinero - I'm pretty sure I would be carting an 88 and a 61 of something or the other.
The 76 keyboards seem to be a convenient compromise for some of us in less than perfect situations. That doesn't reduce the argument that there should be a niche for 76's, but now I certainly understand the 88 argument better.
