Sure, one gets by with 61 keys, but once you go to 88, you can never go back.

The bold ones are my present instruments.

Mine's quite a bit shorter, since the first half of my musical journey's been all about acoustic piano and church organ (also, I spent an equal amount of money on guitars, basses and wind instruments), but here it is:

An old, cheapish Casio arranger from the late 90s
A digital Yamaha piano (probably a YDP163 R, can't recall)
Korg PS60
Korg Monotron
Korg MS-20 Mini
KingKORG black
Yamaha Reface YC
Viscount Legend Solo
Akai LPK25
Nord Lead A1
Nord Electro 6

I currently own the two Nords and the tiny Akai (it's convenient to jot down ideas on Logic or Sibelius). The only thing I really desire right now is a two-manuals clonewheel. The Mojo Classic's a bargain but I'm in no hurry: I still hope Nord'll someday release a C2D successor (or a lower manual add-on for the Electro).
