Subject:Re: Finally played an XK3!!

Hey Roger, remember that one man's opinion, is just that: an opinion. The XK3 is a very well-built keyboard, and while the keyboard is a lot lighter than my Hammonds or Electro, it's a real pleasure to play.

Wow. I have a CX3 V.1. My only complaint is that it is
a screechy in the top octave. I have to get the V.2
rev. I'm very happy with the action and the leslie
sim. I keep my 122 at home.
IMHO a cheap and springy keyboard action drives me
crazy. I fee it compromises my chops. Reading your
take on the XK3 I would never make a trade. Well, I
suppose life is just a series of trade offs and what
makes all different is that we're willing to trade off
different things. That's what makes the world rich.
Guess I'm getting a little philosophical. I've said my
piece.
