Seriously, Yamaha???? Y’all are skimping at that price. I don’t know if anybody remembers, but back in ‘01, there was a pair of synths, the S08 & S03 - I used the S08 from ‘04 - ‘09 when it was stolen. Just about EVERYTHING was similar looks-wise back then, minus the boat load of controls we’re getting with the CK series…. Yamaha even printed the hookups that’re around the back on top of the keyboard!! I’ve missed that!! They even brought back the spring loaded power button on the back - apparently necessary because there’s a power adapter with these CKs as well. Only thing different build wise? The chassis was ALUMINUM BUILT. The kicker? My S08 was EXACTLY the price of the CK61. For that price, I don’t just want pro build quality, no…. I EXPECT IT. Keep the plastic chassis to the $500 - $900 range of keyboard. 😡
