Custom painted Roland AX-7 inspired by Henrik Klingenbergs AX-1. It’s signed by Sonata Arctica. It’s my first keytar and it’s so much fun to play!

This is a great way to check whether the horrible asshole mods from /r/guitar are moderating here without specifically asking. 😂

Nice! What’s the reasoning for having C and E as the only white keys?

Not OP, but I’m thinking style for the most part. Same thing with guitars with the inlays and fret markers.

Possibly because they border the half tones skipped in scale construction. Looks interesting!

For some reason I cant reply directly to @treczoks@kbinsocial

So here is this.

It’s never been an official term, I think back in time they were called “shoulder synths” but someone noticed it’s a keyboard played like a guitar and someone was like "ooh "keytar! "came about and it was just way catchier, thus the keytar moniker was born!

At least I think that’s how it went. It’s been years since I looked into it, so I coupd be full of shit. Someone correct me if I am wrong tho. Too lazy to active research right now.
