Music Appreciation

It looks like a premium keyboard and its price is in line with higher end keyboards. For players with shorter hands, this could be a wonderful solution. I wonder why the big boys (Yamaha, Kong, Casio, etc.) never thought of it.

As I’m in the final third of my career, I’m trying to down-size my gear collection. At one point, I had enough equipment for three modest recording g studios! Little by little, I’ve been selling/giving away/junking stuff. At one point, I had 14 keyboards! I don’t think I’ll buy an Athena.

I’m not sure I understand this product as a political/social issue but as I wrote, I’m in a different position than you. Good luck with your health! I, too, have had some issues this year that have affected my left hand so I can’t play for the time being. At least we can listen to the great compositions!

This idea would have been useful for me a number of years ago. I was living and traveling on a cruising sailboat and the choice of keyboards was severely limited by the space I had available. If this company made a 4- or 5- octave keyboard with narrow keys, it might have fit on my boat. Alas, I ended up with a Casio instrument with chiclet-style keys (3/4 sized). It worked but only for arranging/composing/orchestrating. It was too small to play expressively. The other solution would be to get a bigger boat…
