Artis looks like a nice home or studio piano/controller but the players who still want to gig with a 46 lb. keyboard are very limited. Everything is about the Nords, Casios, and new Hammond Xk1, Roland VR9. All super lightweight.

You are definately and example of the light and sounds right school. So am I.

My Casio Privia 350 with weighted keys is great for home and if I need to easy to gig with.

My speaker weigh more then my kb...lol..I still got muscles from gigging with the G70 haha

Donny,
This is very interesting. It was a Kurzweil 88 I heard being played on a cruise about 10 years ago that got me started playing music again. I was totally fascinated by all the sounds the guy was producing. Came home a month later bought a PSR3000 - never looked back. Shame it is so heavy.

Deanne.....Kurtzweil units have some amazing sounds and production features, used by many pros all around the world..Top notch all the way!!

Kurzweil was always a good product, especially the K2 series, but it's a shame they stopped making them, and the sampler was very small compared to all the other brands.

Pitty they couldn't take a note from rye Red Devils themselves Nord, get the weight and size down and the screen with the menu navigations you need to make, make it a much more difficult instrument of the fly

I always said all bets were off if Kurzweil ever puts out an arranger. Don't want to hear about using it as a controller with a BK-7m or MidJay, I'm sure that would be dynamite too, but I'm talking about a stand-alone arranger to rival s950/Tyros5, PAx4/PA800 or even G-70/BK-9. I've owned a PC 88, a SP3 and a Mark 5; there are no better sounds and OS to be had.

Any views anyone on the KURZWEIL PC3 LE6, in particular in comparison to the Yamaha MOXF6 and the Korg Krome.
It is even cheaper than either of these.......

Please! Can we get off the weight thing... The vast majority of players who will buy a Kurzweil are not so elderly that they can't hump a 45lbs keyboard!

Sure, OK, for the NH 'entertainer' who is up there close to their audience's age, it's a bit much. But, OTOH, what NH OMB is going to want one of these anyway?

You should try moving my fully loaded K2500S... 55lbs! The studio's K2500X(88) - 72lbs. And a TON of pros used those!
