I currently own a Korg Krome 88 and take it to rehearsals 3 or 4 times a week. The thing is, it's just too big and bulky to carry around comfortably. Moreover, i've come to realize I much prefer semi-weighted keys and miss aftertouch so bad! With all this in mind, I'm about to sell my Krome and buy a Kronos 2 61. However, i'm a bit concerned about portability. Even though the Kronos would fit inside a trunk as opposed to the Krome, I don't always have a car at my disposal. I want to be able to walk to rehearsals with the Kronos inside a gig bag with backpack straps. Any thoughts on whether this board would be a wise choice or i'll regret having bought it after my first commute?

Since i have a Kronos 2 in the studio, and a Kronos 1 (both 61) for live gigging. I can only really comment on lugging around the Kronos 1 which is the same weight iirc. I use a very sturdy but light Gator deluxe bag to transport it and it's not 'super light' but it's very very doable, even on my back. Just don't go hiking with it and you'll be fine. Cool Thinking of all the benefits you'll have.. the best semi-weighted keys (imo, i have ever had the pleasure of playing), Aftertouch which is also a major plus for me, and ofcourse the rest of this amazing monster of a workstation. And i think it's a go Smile

Just out of curiosity, how far would you need to walk with it?

Hello, and welcome to the forum. You didn’t mention how far you have to walk to get to practice. I’m not sure if you’re in the USA or somewhere else. The K2-61 weighs about 32 Lbs. I wouldn’t want to carry it very far. But, the K2 is awesome!

Thanks! That reassuring! No further than 10 blocks (~1km). Also, because it's a lot shorter than an 88 key, i think i could easily use public transport to move around.
