My first synthesizer was a Yamaha CS-01 . My Dad bought it for me in 1983 . The first synthesizer I bought was a Moog Rogue , I got it from Lightning Music in Dallas Texas . It was $395.00 .

Yamaha DX7IIFD was the first synth I ever owned. Was not too big on it but it was a fun synth too have for a while.

A cheap & nasty bit of plastic that sat on top of my Commodore 64's computer keyboard.
I did manage to get the FM expansion pack for the C=64, it had a 5 octive non velocity keyboard.

My first MIDI keyboard - Akai AX73, and it's still going strong today.
Currently using a Roland D-50 for master keyboard duties.

Well, I started playing accordion at age 13... went from there to the cordovox ... Many years ago an uncle of mine (NOT Uncle Dave ) who played piano told me he had bought a second hand Fender Rhodes and decided it wasn't for him, and if I wanted it I could take it!!! ... Bless HIS heart!!! ... Man, I know now that lugging that thing to gigs was more of a pain than I ever realized ... I still have it, but it's not being used for gigs ...
A number of years ago I bought a technics kn1000 which I still have, but I now use a kn6000 for gigs...

My first keyboard was a Kitten by Octave. Gotta love single note polyphony! Of course, a few years later I bought a real keyboard...a Korg Poly 800!!!!

Hey yyzkid,
I had a Poly 800 too. It was pretty cool, or at least I thought it was. Until the volume knob started actting up. Every once in a while out of nowhere the volume would just drop, then a tap on the volume button got me right back. This was the pits in the middle of a song. It began to happen more and more, then I started borrowign a friends DX7!!!! Whoa! That was awesome.

Peace
<><

This takes me back many years.... a Whirlitzer electric piano and (gulp!) a GEM organ.

My first board was a Roland JX-1 and a Roland Sound Canvas. Then I got a Yamaha SY-35 on close out. So I gave away the JX-1. I later sold the SY-35 and got a Kurzweil K-2000 which I still have today.

Not counting the hideous Magnus chord organ I started playing on as a five year old, my first kb was an almost equally hideous Silvertone Organ. It literally burned up some years later due to a faulty homemade distortion box I had installed in it ( actually made in shop class in school ). I wasn't heartbroken at all, because that event led me to get a used Hohner Clavinet for very cheap, and suddenly everything was right in the world.

By the way, those CP's were great for storing a ton of things on top of. My 1980's setup was the CP25, with a Poly 6 sitting on it. There was plenty of room left to put a bunch of other gear / adult beverages, etc, on top of it.
