Hi,
I bought a used Kurzweil PC-88 last night. I used to play the PC-88 years ago and loved the feel of the keys. Funny thing is that when my previous PC-88 broke, and I replaced it with a Rhodes/Roland MK-80 (same keybed as the Roland RD) I HATED the way the MK-80 felt. It felt cheap to me. Now when the cirmcumstaces are exactly the oposite - it seems that I've grown a liking to the MK-80 feel and don't the the PC-88. IN fact, it now feels cheap to me.
So clearly there's some psychology going on here.
Has this bizzare phenominon ever been discussed?
I'm confident that I will redapt - hopefully!
My other question is somewhat related. Just on the outside chance that this PC-88's keybed - the Fatar TP 10, could benefit from some TLC, and this is at least part of the reason why it feels different to me - might the TP 10 mechanisim need some sort of lubrication/grease? (I know what this thing feels like when the keys are broken - and I'm sure nothing is broken or in need of new felt.)
I'm not sure if its the TP 10 MDS or MDF. It's one or the other:
