Just wondering, I am sure that at one time or another (myself included), got a keyboard or several, that did NOT fit our needs, taste, playing needs, features, or wherever other reason.

Long time ago, I got the Ensoniq SQ80 and the EPS16+(freshly out of the line), many keyboards later, a Roland VA7. All of those I got rid off within 3 months or less.

Like I said at the beginning, the keyboards that simply did not "acclimated" to your playing style/needs etc, NOTHING else.
That's about it.

A Korg X5 get rid of within a week, a roland D5 same story. And a farfisa keyboard ( don't remember which one) get rid of the same day.

For those of us who have some old 'dogs' laying around that we haven't sold yet, maybe a better question would be 'which keyboards do you regret buying in the first place'. In my case, the only one I can think of is a recent purchase, the Roland Fantom G7. If I had a 'do over', I'd get a Korg Oasis (sp) with all the trimmings, instead.

Two at the top of my list...PSR320 (Polyphony ran out and would mute the entire keyboard for several seconds)..it was useless..

and.....the PSR2100...an overpriced exaggerated PSR320...

The arranger I was most glad to get rid of was a Roland KR-650.

Synth-wise, there were two...a Yamaha SY-55, and a Korg M1.

The Roland EM2000, after two screens and 800 bucks later (400 bucks a pop). Roland can keep it!

GEM WK8, apart from it's lovely slick looks and nice screen display, it sounded awfully thin and lifeless, the styles were bland as well which didn't help. The keyboard was also riddled with faults and bugs, the fuse kept blowing inside the board and some of the buttons didn't respond and you had to really push down hard. I still enjoyed it but I thought it was a step backwards from the WX2 I had prior to that.

I never had a keyboard that wasn't great and fulfilled my needs at the time it was purchased. They all performed admirably. And, the only reason I got rid of any of them was because after a year or so of usage I found one that either sounded better, or the OS was easier to work with. Upgrades are always fun--some are just more fun that others.

Cheers,

Gary
