Bill ... With the exception of some of the folks on this board who fairly often change keyboards - and I'm NOT singling anyone out - I agree with your statement ... Change in life often causes disruption, and people don't usually like disruption ...

Big Ditto!

..except in your case it was HALF a day .

Spent a day with my Genos. Then sold my PA4X to get something better...Genos.

We bond with different instruments.

👍

This said, I’m enjoying my PX560 recently...just for my own enjoyment. Fun to play(simulated) hammered action.

It actually was most of the day. My friend Don Patterson in Lufkin, TX. has one. I drove down, got there about 11:00 a.m., and played it until I left about 6. We did stop for burgers that his wife made though.
I'm not saying the Genos isn't a fine keyboard, just saying that it doesn't suit me as well as many other options.

Don, read again. It was the "Big Ditto" I was 'nudging' .

I think that what is important is not the brand or model.....is what cover your needs and likes......and many o r most of us, try different ones....and stay with wherever is more in "our" way.

I had every brand, Roland E20,RA95,VA7, BK5, Ketron X1, 2 SD1s, Korg I5, X3, PA500s, PA800s, PA600, PA4X, Yamaha PSR 3000, Tyros2,3,4 & 5, Genos, and in the 80s I had a Wersi too...I did fiddle too with the GEM models....

I am including the Organs I had, Ace Tone Top1(Later became Roland), Yamaha D2B, E10AR, Hammond X66, Hammond B3000, X66, Yamaha FX1, HS6 (2), EL90 and X66 now just in my living room....no gigs with that, is to heavy,
I wonder how I did it then....I know....I was young then.

Now for me, is the Genos what does what I want, like and need.

My 2 Cents

I started out with a Yamaha PSR3000, then a Tyros 3, Tyros 4, Tyros 5 and even the Genos. Along the way I tried the Korg PA1X, PA2X Pro, PA4X and even the MicroArranger, Rolands E50, and E80. Then for some reason I decided to try the Ketron SD7 and wow did it make a difference. I have since played nothing but my SD7. I recently sold the SD7 and ordered the new Ketron SD90 module to cut down on weight for gigs. I keep a small Yamaha S975 on hand because I like it for my Christmas and Patriotic shows. But for sure, my favorite of all of these has been my Ketron SD7 and hopefully my new Ketron SD90 soon to arrive.
