    also, where would you put 6-7 pianos?


    keyboards have so many different sounds in them, they probable dont need that many...
    esp ltd deluxe ec-1000 (amber sunburst)
    fender mim standard strat
    peavey classic 30
    johnson j-station
    original ibanez ts-9 (not in use)
    dunlop crybaby (sometimes in use)
    yamaha f-310p acoustic
    taylor 410 acoustic

      How much do you wanna bet that there's a forum of people on the internet that all have a different keyboard for each sound they want to make:

      "This one is for my Roland sounds, this one is for Hammond sounds, this one is for new piano sounds, this one is for old piano sounds, the bass keys on this one are good at harpsichord, but I play the treble keys on this one for the higher register harpischord sounds..."

        only thing is you can get those different sounds from a keyboard, and its not like the variax thing....

              i think that synthesizer / keyboard players (as opposed to strictly acoustic piano players) can get pretty wrapped up in sound / feel of their rigs ... they seem pretty susceptible to the 'flavor of the year' too ... i remember when the yamaha DX-7 keyboard came out back in the early 80's .. my buddy had one of the first ones in the greater philly area ... he made back the purchase price within 5 months renting it out to studio cats who had to have 'the latest thing' .. . a couple years later, you could get em used for a song ... the cycle repeats itself often between roland, yamaha, korg, etc ... the keyboardist in my last band still dragged his old roland full size, weighted keys controller around simply because he liked the action best, despite the nearly 20 yr old technology .. they are also known to by a module for a single sound that they HAVE to have at several hundred dollars a pop (B3 organ sounds, old analog synth reproduction, etc)

              so yeah, they get it as bad as we do .. :-)
