Love to use multiple keyboards. On "one nighters", I use an MS-60(soon to be replaced with an SD-5) and an old Yamaha tone generator, driven by a controller, on top.
At my country club job, I use a B-3, 147RV, Suitcase Rhodes on my right hand and a DX-7 on top (very old school, but fun).
My new house set-up will be an XB-7 Hammond on the bottom, an SD-5 in the center and a MicroKorg an top. I'll have a Kursweil digital piano on my right hand. All will go thru a sub-mixer into the PA.
Am just comfortable with a piano on my right hand, and it looks like I know more and am better than I really am!
Ah, "show-biz"!

OK... have you all beat....
in the late 80's... I actually played and traveled with 9 keyboards at one time.
These consisted of 3 Ultimate Support 3-tier Apache style stands, each holding 3 keybards, arranged in a u-shape. I can't remember all the keyboards becuase they have been given away, were borrowed, etc. Some were ROland JX-3P, Yamaha YP-40 (The first ever Clavinova), Korg DSS-1 sampling synth, KOrg SG-1D sampling grand, Korg Ploy-800, a few mono synths, a Crumar Traveler Organ
Some of them I used one sound on one song and 2 I never even plugged in... they were for looks...
I was 19 or so and they just looked cool. I even went through a "red rocker" phase and painted all three stands fire engine red, painted some of the keyboards and the mixer the same red and even bought a matching red pants and top to match (including a single red fingerless glove).
Anyway... I'm down to 2 for my gig these days...
Yamaha DGX-500 and Korg PA1x-Pro
Have 6 other keyboards around my office, studio and home studio.
