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)

Gunnar Jonny Senior Member Registered: 04/01/01 Posts: 4402 Loc: Norway	Originally Posted By Jerryghr ..... The camera angle will fool you. 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
