m3 73 or 88?

I compared the xs8 to the m3 88 and the korg action and the korg seemed not as mushy.I am torn between the 88 and 73 key model.The store here only has the 88 model. I am no piano player(am a guitarist) but the 88 key model seems to motivate me to feel like a better player.lol... any opinions?

I like the 88. its does depend on the music you play tho. Some types of music play smoother on the non hammer action keyboards.

i understand. I am not into organs at all. and just melodic playing- drun things and motion synth stuff.It does feel better when doing some piano parts on the 88 key model though.

Price i can get is almost same for 73 version and 88 version..maybe 100.00 difference

Take some measurements of your cars interior, if you plan to transport the thing around. !!!!!!!!

I can get a 73 in the passenger seat for trips back and forth to church.

...........in a soft sided case.

I suggest you 73.

The M3 is synth oriented workstation. You can't play synth, organ, string with the right feeling on a 88, and this is the best this keyboard can give you. (Even the Rhodes is 73...

)

Enjoy !

Thanx..I think i like the 88 as its not heavy weighted so much like the motif xs8. i feel the 73 would also work out fine too but the m388 does feel like a cross between synth action and weighted action.

I'm curious; what's the significance of that question?
