  1. These Vibanets look awesome. Someone suggested one of these when I asked about clavs on this bulletin board maybe 10 or more years ago. (Talk about taking too long with a decision.) It was hard to find the price on the site, or how to buy one, but it seems like they are $6K.
  2. Listening to a lot of playing on youtube I am finding the Mojo 61 to be quite attractive. Nobody near me seems to carry these so the keyboard feel will be the difficult part to determine (though users including several of you above praise the feel). I think I am moving away from some of the heavier actions and am dialing my choices down with frontrunners at the moment probably being the Mojo, Continental, or SK. Oddly the new old stock and used SK2's don't seem to be going for that much less than a new SKx. To clarify on an earlier question, this playing would be just on my own for my own enjoyment. If I get decent I might add clav parts to some compositions (in Cubase). I wouldn't play live for the foreseeable future. Thank you again to everyone for the great help you've been.
  3. Thank you so very much to everyone for the fantastically helpful feedback. I am still processing all of your thoughts, advice, and questions in order to respond intelligently - but wanted to state that this has already been so helpful and beneficial to me.
  4. Hello, I am looking for recommendations/advice on picking up a new keyboard which I initially thought to be for clavinet only, and that still may be my approach, but I am also considering it for Hammond secondarily (so maybe 75% Clav, 25% Hammond). Luckily I already have a Roland RD for pianos so a fully weighted hammer action and piano sound are not important for this new purchase. The action should be better suited to clav and organ. Some of the keyboards I have been considering include: Hammond SK"s, Roland V-Combo"s, Vox Continental, Viscount Legend 70"s, Crumar Mojo 61, and Crumar Seven I"ve never bought a used instrument but was considering an SK-2 since the single set of drawbars would likely not be an issue and I might think to more or less 'permanently' assign clav to one manual (and organ to the other). Something like the Viscount is attractive because it"s gorgeous and has a dedicated clav module; Its downsides are cost and most importantly this is probably the wrong keybed for clav and organ (although I notice some hammer action keyboards are criticized for being too light which in my case might be a positive). Cost is not the driving factor⦠yet the thought that a $999 VR-09 could possibly fit the bill is attractive, and I admit I"ve often been a little put off in the past by the cost of some of the Nords⦠and some of the above fall into that same price tier. Others I should consider? Thoughts about those I"ve listed for my needs? Thanks in advance- (PS My old login info from years ago was inaccessible so I created this new account.)
