On several demos it seems the smaller keybed is used more often, or is it just me. I know I am not always the most observant but doesn't it seem the smaller Kronos is used more often? If I am correct in my observation I am curious why? I could be wrong maybe the semi weighted and fully weighted are used universally I just didn't notice that. Confused

I would guess that the 61 is quite a bit easier to transport and set up, so you are seeing it used in demos more often.

I suspect there are a limited number of demo units, and most (if not all) are 61-key units.

Here's a picture of the serial number of the Kronos that was at Bellevue American Music. My other pictures turned out kind of crummy.... In a couple of months, we'll all be able to take pictures of our OWN Kronos' (Kronoses? Kroni?)

At the demo on Wednesday said he brought the K61 with him because of its easy air transportation.

He also said there'd been an x-stand failure at one of the demos, one of those sickening moments where your baby has gone noisly crashing to the floor- and that the K was OK! In fact, it was the same K he used for the demo.

Two different interpretations of what a Kronos is Smile

Sorry - the Friday is getting to me!!!!

Jimmy D was my favorite when I was young. I never missed a show on the boob tube. Sadly at that age I never truly understood his humor. Man was he blue.

I suspected it was a transportation thing with the K61. Nice to hear it can withstand a fall! I wish there would be some more k88 demos! Also it sure doesn't seem that the pianos are hindered by a semi weighted board one little bit!

There is no plural to Kronos - one is all you get.

Why dont they state on the back of the unit that its made in both Japan and USA?? Or is this just a reference to the manufacturing plant and not the technology design part. Either way, its both a USA and Japan designed system.

Yeah, that's true, definately he will have 48 Kroni to sit beside his 48 Oasyssesses. And a few dozen V Pianos.

Thats interesting regarding the serial number. Its only a five digit serial number. So are they only expecting to sell 99,999 units? What happens if they sell 100,000? They will need an extra number in the serial tag Laughing

I should check my Oasys serial number tonight and see how many digits they have there. I wonder if its only four digits??

Another thing i notice is the power switch is not similar to the Oasys big red power switch which makes a big 'thud' noise when you power on/off the unit. That switch looks similar to the one on my V synth GT, nice an quiet when you switch it on and off.
