Well, I agree it would be nice to have lighter kb´s but I´m not complaining about what they weight today. And I carry my psr2k every now and then..

Maby I´m not complaining because perhaps psr2k is light weighted or just that I´m still young

Ah, I remember that Farfisa Combo Compact, the Leslie 145, the Peavey 600XRB, two Peavey 3-ways, mics, stands, equp bag. and sign. UP a steep flight of 18 steps. Oh boy, gimme my 2k, wireless mic and Mackies anytime. Lighter is better!

At least the other boys in the band lended a hand back then.

The psr2k is one of the very lightest around. That doesn't even qualify !

Dave,

Put another 15 years under your belt and that 2000 will feel like it weighs a ton.

In the mid-70's I went from a similar Farfisa to a customized B-3 in a black fiberglass case. It was meant to be more portable but in fact the fiberglass case made it even heavier. Plus I had a large two piece Leslie for it. Four strong men and a van required for any moves. The stand that the organ sat on weighed more than my 9kPro does today. Did that for four years then traded it in the minute that Korg released the first CX-3.

I believe we will be complaining about the weight no matter how light they get.

For example, do you remeber first cellphones that came out. AAARGH! They were heavy!! Today they weight a tiny fracture of what they use to. And we are still complaining "they are sooo heavy, why can´t they make it lighter"...
