What is the best looking keyboard ?

Keep in mind, only looks, not the sound, controll options, keyboard feel or size...


Which one looks best ?

I'd personally think that The Roland Phantom G looks best of all...and that the Korg PA2X Pro is the best looking arranger keyboard.

I second that emotion, the G 1000.

PSR-8000 followed closely by the PSR-S900.

Nice to look at...even nicer play.

True...should be on all keyboards...very handy.

You mean the G70 or G1000 don't have them?

If not, it is more of Roland's lack of attention to intelligent design...tsk tsk!

I'm assuming you mean 'modern' keyboards, otherwise I'd say a 'B3' flanked by two leslies. The truth is, to the general public, I don't think any of them look good. I think the (non-musician) public regards synths (and their brethren) as some kind of fake something-or-other, and don't take them seriously as a legitimate musical instrument. I think the closest you'd come would be a few well-heeled retirees either in Florida or on their way there (possibly in a very large motorhome), who still admire a well-lighted, many-buttoned, 25-pedaled, TOTL home organ (preferably with a slot for the cassette tape).

On a personal level, I could never warm up to the drum icons on the Yammys. To me, it's like putting one of those paper overlays (that show key names) on a Bosendoefer.

Just another point of view (Ian).
