what was/is the best looking keyboard in your oppinion?

along the years, there were many nice looking keyboards that i am sure made you want to look at them again and again, not just playing them (maybe they weren;t that good sounding anyway) and i'd like to see which those keyboards were?

for me, i think psr 7000 is still the best one. http://www.premierorgans.co.uk/PSR7000prem.jpg
followed by ketron x1 http://www.hauwasser.de/assets/images/ketronx1.jpg
and roland E60 - which i curently own. http://www.maxmusic.co.za/UserFiles/Image/E60.jpg

If we're not talking just arrangers, then I must say the Prophet T-8 is a real looker.

This qualifies as one of the best looking.......oh you mean keyboard, not keyboard player

Kristin is playing her E-500 here..she also has an E-600..

How about the professional look of the Yamaha DX-7, and the Roland JX-10...

Boards that were designed for "pro' users

For me, design is important if too bad (I mean, my wife could veto a specific keyboard based on its design being so bad it couldn't fit our house, even if I told her its sound was brilliant...).

But I think Korg does the best job on keyboard design, being it an arranger or a synth. Sounds good, too.

Hi.

If we're talking about "eyecandy", I would wote for
Technics KN6000/KN6500.
The design is/was a pleasure for the eyes.
The new Audya looks nice too, a kind of "streamlined"....
(Also Liontracks looks very nice)

Happy Playing!

Best looking keyboard I ever saw was when my Dad surprised me with a Farfisa (14 years old).

Best looking today still remains the B.

Paid $1400.... "gave it away" in mint condition for $350. Now how I WISH I had it back. It was a faithful and very welcome friend...

the first three in top:
1. Yamaha, Roland - 6 votes
2. Ketron, Technics - 4 votes
3. Korg - 3 votes

Were we separated at birth? My dad bought me a Farfisa ComboCompact (red-black) and then followed it up with an Ampeg B18n. What a setup that was - pedals too. Those were the days. Didn't sell it until well into the 80's.

I've always loved the look of the B3, but hated the pedals and lack of reverb.

Mine is the most beautiful kb in the world http://rapidshare.com/files/43641934/my_keyboard.jpg.JPG.html
