Is this like, a guitar for keyboardists? I don't get it. Aren't there those stupid 80's synthaxes or whatever they were called around?

Ugly? Yes.

Pointless? Even more so.

wishbasses are great instruments at a very decent price, nothing to make fun of in my book...

On the Keytar site, under the Features tab it lists "Monster" as a type of music. Curious... what would that be exactly? (I already thought of "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. And the Steppenwolf tune.)

Who exactly is this instrument aimed at? Keyboardists? Lazy guitarists?
It's just all wrong, wrong, wrong...

Just watch Roger Waters live at Berlin.


Thomas Dolby fends of Cyndi Lauper with the grace and power of his Keytar. The instrument shall never reach such a pennacle of achievement again.




(when I read the title...before I even opened the thread...the first thought that came to mind was keytar)
