Also, if I intended to use a weighted keybed(simulated or otherwise) for gigging, I think I would be fine with 61 - 73/76 Keys keyboard...less size and weight.

It’s been a while since I played my Genos. That said, I’m beginning to think I do prefer a keybed similar to the 560 over my Genos keybed. This isn’t a criticism of my Genos keybed...but it is different.

Nearest analogy I can provide is that, for most of my life, I’ve been an acoustic string player; guitar, mandolin and banjo....to include upright bass.

I own electric guitars but never felt as connected to them as I do to my acoustic instruments.

Maybe it’s the same deal with keyboard beds?


Offcourse it will be more expensive..
And a tidy bit heavier too, for the added build quallity..

I guess it would cost 50 % more then the 560..
maybe even double
But thats still less then half the price of a genos or nord stage..


But i have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of both worlds 88 key/piano and arranger in a single instrument... and thats the upcomming cvp 809..

And else... combine a top 88 key stage piano or workstation with a ketron sd90 module..
