“Beginners should be using 88 weighted keys”
Wow! you got that right.

Unfortunately financial and logistical limitations prevent that from happening in the real world.


The pole only asked which one do people want 61, 76 or 88. My comment was stating that “you get the most use with an arranger 76 key.” Meaning that there are things you can do with a 76 key that you can not do on a 61. However, anything you can do on a 61 you can do on a 76.

If the pole was further examined, I am sure we would find that most of the 50% who stated they wanted 61 keys were doing so thinking that a 76 key arranger had to be heavy big and bulky and cost much more than a 61.
Naturally, when they think 76 key arranger, they think Roland G70 and Korg PA1X pro (heavy big and bulky).

If the question were asked a different way, the answer may be different. Don’t you just love market research?
