Can I share my Keytar here?

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. 😂
- Bro that's fucking awesome

Nice! What's the reasoning for having C and E as the only white keys?
- Looks real cool.
  
  fair enough haha. And indeed it does!
- 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!

I'll allow it
- I, also, allow it.
  
  I too, allow it.

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.

  It is I keytard from the first wubbys got talent stream. I really boofed it.
  
  Nahh, the video was great. You can shred.

The fact that you got Henrik to autograph it is the Chef's Kiss.

As long as it shreds! Dope blue fade on that bad boy
- Does it shred?

Sick! Great to see another keytar lover. I have the AX-Edge which is a much heavier beast but also fun to play.
- I had one! I just sold it though, because I never used it. And I needed to cover medical bills. It was also way too bulky for my liking.
  
  Yeah it is just slightly too bulky, but does work better for two handed playing if you don't mind T-Rex arms.

TIL that those things are called Keytars. Makes sense.

I want a custom one of these with smaller keys so I could actually play it.
- There are a few out there with mini keys. I think KORG makes one. Look into it! I haven't played in months at this point, but they are so much fun to play on.

No, get a synth guitar. https://www.guitar-list.com/roland/guitar-synths/roland-g-707
- What if I told you that I play acoustic guitars, electric guitars, synth guitars, keytar, and synths? I appreciate the whole spectrum from end to end.
