i'd have to disagree, IMHO, of course.
with all the lame crap instruments out there, that would
not make my worst 10.
i find playing a rhodes a quite organic experience.
plug it into a phaser and i think they sound even better.

i vote for the korg M-1.
the very definition of "dross".
did anyone EVER actually program one, or did EVERYONE just
use the presets... i bet out of the thousands sold, only
a handful ever had their presets altered...

To my disappointment, it was about PC keyboards; however, it got me to thinking that we've talked about cool keyboards (our kind, of course), but I don't remember any exchanges about the worst.  Sure to be some controversy.  Any takers?
