If you don't get hurricanes, it's ALL boring weather!
The trouble for me is that, as much piano playing as I DO get, I HAVE to have at least 76 no matter what. But having decided a long time ago that just one keyboard ought to be all I take out, how do I use an arranger, and still have that task covered? An 88 arranger would make everything BUT piano parts more difficult, a plastic 61 would make piano parts impossible to play. There sure as hell aren't any 61 fully weighted actions out there, so it's obvious that not only weight, but note number is important. In fact there are completely unweighted 88's available, but not ONE fully weighted 61.
Don't get me wrong, though. If Roland made a 76 semi-weighted arranger at half the weight of the G70 without any compromise to the sound and feel whatsoever, I would buy it in a flash. But until they do, I am not prepared to take a toy 61 around, just to save me 20 extra pounds of lifting...
