Hi folks. I'm a new member here from east texas. I don't actually own a korg product yet but I plan on purchasing a kronos. I just can't quite afford it at the moment. It'll be a couple of weeks. Trying to decide between the 88 key or 73 key.
It's a pleasure to meet ya'll

Welcome to the forum.
Kronos keybed choice may be influenced by playing preferences. For classical piano playing, the 88 key is the closest to playing the real thing. the 73 key has synth action keys, so better suited to playing organs and synths. The 61 key is also synth action, and has the added advantage of being able to control the main joystick and vector joystick at the same time, which can be useful for Programs using the synth engines, and is easier to carry around.

From what I've read the 73 has the same keys as the 88. Maybe it's a misprint

Not a misprint - you are correct - if Korg ever release a 73 S/W I'll be the first to buy!!!
...... and "welcome" from me too

You're right. The spec in the User Manual gives the 88 and 73 as RH3 weighted hammer action. Must have been wishful thinking on my part!!
