genny.....believe me I have carried every freaking weight and size gear thru the years on stage from tour performance shows, cruise ships which are a pain, years of wedding band gigs carrying up upstairs,rooftop gigs, and everything inbetween, tube gear that weighed a ton, leslies, Hammond B3's/C3's and beyond...I have never needed 76 keys an dnever will....I have played and owned 88/76/61 so what?...I use and buy what I like and need to make a living.....I dont begrudge anyone their choice of gear....use what yiou want I say and make beautiful music with it while you can.all this talk an d BS dont mean squat if you cant produce good music from within you. here we talk talk talk & as always I take it with a grain of salt...why?....because it's all BS talk to me and why I say that is because all I read is talk, and hardly ever hear any music by the people that love to talk in any way shape or form public or private....
Gee why is that?....we cant learn from each other from Bs talk ....we can only learn from seeing and hearing each other so we can absorb and get better as players..although some here think they are above that. 61/76 who cares? Just freaking play, enjoy, share, and learn!!
