Just get a Nord Electro 3- C2 organ sound, smaller package- If you need 2 manuals get the 73 key version, or use your stage 76 for the bottom manual. You also might be able to sample some of the synth sounds you need and load them into the electro- saving even more wieght

Subject: [CWSG] Hi Guys, I Need some advice


I am preparing and renovating my live rig to play gigs with my band, starting in 2010.
I always played with my Korg Bx3, and a Nord Stage 88 on top.
Now, because of what i recorded in our album, I needed two more keyboards, specifically a moog voyager and a prophet. Thats why i need to reduce the weight. I already sold the Nord stage and got a new one, Nord Stage 76 EX (got a nice shopping opportunity). Bought the voyager too. Ill get the prophet or nord wave or whatever for polysynths eventually i hope.
The Bx3 is too heavy for me to lug it around, and here in Mexico, i have to pay a lot to get in on an airplane, plus a lot of trouble, because in mexican airlines, they have something against musicians i think (lol). In Mexico, some of the promotion gigs, we have to do them for free, so we dont have a budget to pay for the overweight.
I was thinking of selling it, to buy a lighter organ, cause i really need one, and i am not entirely satisfied with my nord stage organ sound (plus i like waterfall keys).
So how much could i get for a used korg bx3 , the latest, digital one i mean, and which clone is the right one for me?
My choices are Xk3c, or Nord C2. How different is the C2 from the nord stage organ sound?
Xk3c gives me the option of save some money and upgrade it with the lower manual too, and that is something that i like.
I really like my Bx3, i dont want to sell it, but i dont have any more money to spend on a new keyboard without selling something. Im not considering the Cx3 because i like the option of having 2 manuals, the nord C2 has them, and the xk3c gives me the option of buying one, in the future, play qith the entire system at home, and just take the upper manual to gigs. Maybe i wont afford either of them, with the money ill get for my Bx3?
Any hint could help. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Eduardo Bladinieres
