Rate your keyboard by the company it keeps[kept]..
I bought my Roland G1000 in spring of 1998..
I thought it would be interesting to see what other keyboards I owned during the same period of time..[not including modules]..
Keep in mind, my mentality, is if I could only have one keyboard, which one would it be..
There are many great keyboards on my "gone" list,but the criteria is "the only one"..
I am sure I missed a few on my listing, but this will give an idea what the G1000 has beat out in my slug fest..
I have put an asteric{*}next to a keyboard that I would buy again..but not at the exspense of my G1000..

My "GONE" list:

Korg:
is5,is40,is35,i3 and Triton Studio 76.

Roland:
JV1000,XP80,VK7,VK8,VR760*,E86,E600,DisCover5,EXR5,D70,VA7*,and FP3.

Ketron:

X1,SD1*, and DG1,

Casio:

MZ2000.

Madison:

Madison 88.

Farfisa:

G7.

Yamaha:

PSR 2100, PSR2000.


Conclusion ...don't judge a book by it's cover, but by the company it keeps[forgot....kept]..
