Love the cheeks...

[Sundown]

I'm not a huge fan of the Korg Kronos (it's not really a fit for my needs), but I love the aesthetic update for 2015, especially the wood cheeks on either side of the chassis.

 

New Kronos

 

If I had unlimited resources, I would hunt down a Roland JX-10 or A-50 and do a custom job.

I didn't see the point of cheeks until I got some! I'm on the hunt at the moment for a nice bit of cherry or walnut to replace the fake wood on my PC3K.

One thing I wish you could get is replacement cheeks with routed hand holds in the end. Would make it a lot easier to get out of a tight fitting flight case.

 

Would definitely do a custom job if I could get replacement ones for my NS2. Although... I should just be able to carve out my own... has anyone else done that?

I added custom end cheeks to my S90 and RD-700GX many years ago. You read about it and see pics here.

YES. And for carrying (placing on and off the stand) as well. The end pieces of some boards are just ergonomically bad, with apparently no thought given to how they impact the ability to grab the keyboard from its sides. Korg Kronos-61 and SV1-73 are both made more difficult to maneuver because of terribly designed side panels. I would love to see replacement end panels for these!
