In the market for a new keyboard...

[Janesaid2me]

I'm looking to replace my roland rs-5 keyboard synth with something new...I'm not as concerned with the synth part as I now use a microkorg for most of my synth sounds...Im looking for something that has awesome piano, string and organ sounds as well as maybe a few good synths...would be nice if the keys were weighted too...but i know thats gettin pricey....i'm looking to spend about 1000 (ebay pricing) so throw me some suggestions guys. Thanks!

Try to get ahold of a Yamaha CS6x.. great value, and great sounds as well. You could certainly find a used one for under $1000.

i'm all about the kurzweil.. you can get a used k2500xs for around $1000 orchestral rom is pretty good... plus it is THE programmable synth..

I never thought of that....ive actually used the k2500 for 4 years in my studio at college...just never crossed my mind to think of looking for one...i do recall it had excellent sounds....thanks guys.
