Donny et al, if you watched the end of that video where Max is bringing the SEVEN in, all I can say is, he must be on steriods; that sucker is HEAVY (@ 70lbs fully cased). Doesn't bother me 'cause mine won't be moved, but that video is definitely misleading as to it's portability (especially if you're a fragile old man smile ). Good marketing, though smile.

I'm loving it so far except for the 'super-weighted' keybed. The tones are heavely so I just can't return it - I'll just have to strengthen my fingers.

Thanks for re-posting the video (Fran had posted it originally). It shows what a great-sounding instrument it is. Although certainly not for everyone, if you're a Rhodes/Wurly/DX fan, it's like a dream come true. Obviously, I can't play like Max (in the video) but it makes me sound better than I am smile.

... and, yes, he ABSOLUTELY made carrying and setting up that beast seem a lot easier than it might be to a lot of people ... noticed they didn't show attaching the back legs which was always a pita with the Rhodes ... because of the leg angle, you had to hold the Rhodes at a tilt while trying to screw the legs in ...
