Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

I have the same opinion concerning instruments. Instrument itself is  
not so important, it's the way how you use it what pays. Any  
instrument - even bad sounding - can be used in the certain situation  
or in the certain music when you know how to use it, and how to  
combine its sounds with the other sounds. Even very simple, dirty or  
funny sounds are usable, everything depends on the context of music  
and arrangement.

That's my experience from long use of electronic instruments. In fact  
I don't understand the terms "bad sounding" or "well sounding". Even  
very expensive instrument with perfect sound potential can sound  
poorly in the hands of poor keyboardist without enough knowledge, and  
very cheap old instrument can sound well in the hands of experienced  
musician. Here I mean mainly the way of performing - stylistics,  
texture, finger technique, using of real time controllers, and of  
course also music ideas.

Spending the  time with deep learning the instrument features and  
possibilities, and editing sounds or programming new sounds is another  
chapter. Of course as well important as performing.
