Kurzweil PC2 76 Electronic Piano keyboard

Description

Anyone that knows the Kurzweil name, will know that they are a professional product. If they were good enough for Pink Floyd. It gives you an idea of how good the Kurzweil brand is.
I used to gig with the PC2X 88 keys (around 50lbs in weight (£2000 at the time of purchase)) but this was too heavy to carry around. The PC2 76 in contrast weighs about 35lbs in weight (One thousand three hundred (£1300) at the time of purchase). From the manual " There are two PC2 models. Both have the same features, with only one exception. The PC2X has a fully-weighted 88-key piano action, while the standard PC2 has a 76-key lightly weighted action for the perfect combination of power and portability..."
All in good working order just with a few scratches by the wording PC2.
Manual and CD supplied (never used the CD).

In my opinion, the voices in the Kurzweil are stunning! The piano or piano combined with strings are amongst the BEST you'll ever hear in a keyboard (in my opinion - but do check what others say about the Kurzweil sound). Whether we were knocking out Elton John, Robbie Williams, Bon Jovi, Queen, etc, etc the Kurzweil delivered every time.

The reason for selling - I no longer gig and most probably won't ever go out again with the band. If you're looking for a pro sounding keyboard at this price point - I would imagine its quality is difficult to beat.

Taken from the Kurzweil 'Musician's' Guide (Kurzweil named it Musician's Guide instead of User Guide. I loved that about Kurzweil, making a clear statement as to whom they're gearing this product towards). The following is in the introduction found on Chapter 1...

If you wish to know more about the specifications etc, please look online for additional information. However, I have included some text from the Musician's Guide, below.

Basic PC2 Features
The SOUND
The PC2 offers 64-voice polyphony that's expandable to 128 voices. For maximum flexibility in connecting to sound systems and processing or recording equipment, the PC2 provides analog and digital audio outputs, which you can use simultaneously.

There are 128 factory programs, including Kurzweil's new stereo triple-strike Grand Piano, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, stereo strings, brass, and Take 6 Vocal samples - as well as our critically-acclaimed keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, and percussion sounds....

For serious Hammond organ fans we offer KB3 mode, which uses tone-wheel synthesis to provide superb recreations of the classic B-3 sound - including real-time drawbar controls and multi-effects settings that include all of the essential features of a Hammon-Leslie setup - percussion, key click, chorus and vibrato, tube amp distortion, and rotary speakers with programmable speed control that ramps up and down like the real thing.

SETUPS

Setups make the PC2 a versatile performance instrument and MIDI control keyboard. Each setup contains four zones that can cover any part of the keyboard or overlap across the entire keyboard.

You can program each zone independently - with different programs, physical controller assignments, and MIDI channels for each zone. Using the onboard arpeggiator, you can program setups with grooves that start automatically and evolve in countless variations as you play.
