Whenever the KRONOS 88 arrives (I'm on that list)! The real question is:
WHAT CAR WILL THE BOX FIT IN WHEN YOU DRIVE IT HOME??
Or, when you do a gig?? There was a great mention about this dilemma in a keyboard magazine article a month or two ago and it made me wonder about this the same way I used to wonder and research which airplane models were good for tall people like myself.
Which cars are best for 88 key keyboards with cases that fit them?? I'm a guitarist, so I don't really run into these problems - I never used a stack or half stack cabinet in my life.
Ok - go at it! |

Sorry for being jocular.
I understand you stressed a real problem there. |

If I had to I'd use my Toyota Surf. It's named because you can fit a surf board longways into it, so the K88 should be fine. |

If anyone has a late Vette (C5, C6, etc), a K88 would fit in the boot space no problem.
You can get a couple of golf bags in the boot and the dimensions are 40" x 63" at the widest point - although you lose about 8" for wheel wells. |

Akos,
That looks like a small car! I wish they'd put the mod/pitch stick on top like Nord does!!!

I'm a true Frenchman, so I drive a Citroën DS.
Every French drives a Citroën DS, don't you know?
My DS has been custom made to transport my 88 keyboards. And with this car I can even transport my other DS:

I'll be attempting it in a MINI Cooper, just for humor value.

That's awesome! Do the Citroens still have that pneumatic suspension that lifts the car up and down on command? I would venture to say that most Americans don't know how unique the Citroens are beyond their swoopy design and funny name.
It's probably best not to try to fit the K88 in a DeuxChevaux!

Well it would have fitted easily into my Audi S4 Avant, but I've now got a VW Golf (Fox for US) GTI.
Gets all of my gigging kit in anyway.
The Ferrari would be a bit difficult - sticking out of the roof: but probably the fastest way to get it home!!
