I am sending my Kronos 61x back

Because I am exchanging it for a 73x.

I did the exact opposite.
So ?

So, why didn't you buy the right one for your needs in the first place and save yourself the losses in trading one for the other.

You JUST got that bad boy too, I learned keys on the organ so the 61 models dont bother me so much.

because I thought that 73 would suit my needs
BUT I ended to HATE RH3...
I the first one action was fine,
but had odd spacing and come out with cut-off problem;
I didnt like at all the next TWO I had after 2 substitutions;
the first substituted become very noisy soon,
I dont know the second, I changed as soon I had
the opportunity.

Having a little play on my Triton and I hate the keyed now. I love the Kronos 73 action, its classy.

I was just having a little fun posting about my hamlet like decision making.

On a gig a 61 and a controller would be great, if I were still doing club date gigs all the time I would have kept the 61.

But I just feel like I can be more expressive on a weighted action and more creative. When I look at the recording sequencing and jamming with this thing I will probably do better w the 73 at home.

In the contest between the 61 and 73 the winner is us. This keyboard sounds great.

Next I will start searching and posting for sound suggestions and checking out all the great instuctional vids

There are a lot of times when I wish I could afford a 61 key as well as my 73. They both have advantages over the other but since I'm primarily a piano player the weighted keyboard makes more sense to me. I actually really love the keyboard on the 73 key Kronos. I realize that some people don't but for my technique, I can make this baby dance and sing like a dream!

The only thing that I have trouble with is organ playing. I spoke to Jordan Rudess about playing organ on a piano keyboard and he said he has the same problems that I do. I guess that puts me in an elite group!
