Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	looking at this demo the genos looks So BIG! I never realized that looks like a monster to me here.. ..... at home in your living room, fine,.... but to gig with day after day setting up, hauling, traveling,? I guess I'm now spoiled with the 18lb Roland EA7 under my arm in & out. Thoughts? Edited by Dnj (02/18/18 12:48 PM)

So does the rounded shape, specially when pictured like this. In fact it don't need much more space than the T4 did, just a bit longer because of the 76 keys. And a lot less weight. 'Plastic fantastic' made in China. The only thing that worries me, if it will start bow downvards at the middle when it stays at the keyboardstand for a long time .... KMA did, and the 'cheap plastic feel' is very similiar. _________________________ Cheers 🥂 GJ _______________________________________________ "Success is not counted by how high you have climbed but by how many you brought with you."

I was concerned about this with my keyboards. When I set them up at home I always support them with a long shelf under the keyboard. Although now that you mentioned it, I see the shelf has a very slight sag over time. Time to flip it over. Regards, Jerryghr Edited by Jerryghr (02/18/18 10:16 AM)

KMA did, and the 'cheap plastic feel' is very similiar. Thats why i need to use a keyboard table with the kronos 88 Strong wooden board as the groundplate, and metal casing, plastic sidecaps.. But having it to long on an x-stand, makes the keybard slightly bend in the middle Which then makes some keys less fluent.. _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net
