I think I found the perfect set up for folks that were discussing this last week. Us e your Genos, Pa4x , G70, EA7, SD7 etc on top and this keyboard controller with weighted keys set up beneath.. It would allow less than 4 inches surface to surface of the keys. (Compared to 2 and 9/16 on a Hammond).

Its hammer action.. Only great for piano players..
Its a nice action tough, the same as the RD800.. Thats the predecessor keybed from the current version in RD2000 and Fantom 8 Its a bit heavier in the touch..

No Donny... not for you
What is nice, because it is flat you can set the top keyboard , especially a 61 key on the back of the Roland, and use blocks on the rear of the top keyboard. they both can sit on a single keyboard stand or table.

$1,000, you got to be kidding...and need semi-weighted synth action not piano...but it does look like a real quality Piano 88 note, style MIDI keyboard. Need only 61 keys.

Even a 76 key pa4x, genos or ketron sd9 fits well on top of the Roland..
Seen a setup with a Fantom 7..

seems excessive for me with two different kbs stacked..... I rather prefer an all in one double KB organ scenario like the Hammond, Crumar or Nord, etc,

Al, Donny...Same reason there are 2 keyboards on an organ: on a 61 arranger it is too darn cramped in the chords area, and also I want a split point area for RH 3 voice on the lower....for orchestral songs. Also it is much easier to play chords on a lower keyboard, your L hand is in a much more comfortable area.
