Thing is, Ian, if you are content with two 61's, you STILL are basically ruling out playing full piano parts on it. Just exactly WHERE are you going to stick that 88 wood piano of yours to be able to use with this behemoth? Left side or right side? Because you sure as sh*t can't place on top or underneath...

Imagine the layout of the Stagea, but with the width of this thing. This thing is designed for KEYBOARD players, not just organ players (or it WOULD have the tried and tested 61 bottom manual), and as such, it needs to cover all the bases.

I guess I am starting to wonder if you simply don't LIKE playing full piano keyboard parts, because, with your preferences, you HAVE to cart two keyboards around to achieve it. Me, I prefer having the option without lugging an 88 around. Remember, I am not a pianist... I am a KEYBOARD PLAYER. So I am capable of getting a lifelike piano performance out of a 76 plastic keyboard. Is it as good as a wood 88? No... Is it as bad as a plastic 61? HELL NO...!

For a MODERN 'organist' that has moved beyond the limitations of old school organs, I would have thought the 76/61 layout would be just about perfect. Think beyond the arranger, and your world opens out drastically...
