Hi Don,

The store I am talking about sells a lot of Genesys keyboards and the owner (who also is the main salesman as far as I know, is anything but what you described. I believe you are talking about a different store, possible one in the DC area"?". If this is the case, I understand your comments.

Do you really consider 41 lbs. to be super heavy? For an instrument whose case is constructed entirely out of metal and not molded plastic I don't think it is heavy at all. And the design of the case being as thin as it is when the LCD is folded down for transport, makes for a very small package to carry. The Genesys Pro is far more roadworthy than its plastic counterparts so I think the tiny bit of added weight is well worth it to properly protect the owners' investment.

Best Regards,

Dave
