I have had a few 76s and I know I didn't use the lowest keys.
Just idle musings . . .



Don 76 keys is nearly a must for me.
For starters if you play manual bass (and I do).. low E matches a4 string bass.
If you play full piano mode (and I do) 76 keys is a must (Octave switching on a 49 or 61 keyboard is just dumb. grin

If you like to have sounds zoned on the keys , 76 keys is a must(G70 will zone 3).

Sure you can get by with 61 keys as an arranger (I do with the E-A7), but... why would I want to. smile

49 keys would be a total nightmare as Donny will find out (as an arranger keyboard).
