G8 or G7

7 Jul 2013, 01:28

Hi everyone I have the chance to own one of these. Price difference is only $50. Both in great condition. If u were me which would u buy? I can't seem to decide. There's advantages and disadvantages on both which makes it hard. Im just a bit worried about the longevity or ageing of the synthetic ivory but they feel great. The G7 is quite rare and looks nicer, but just wondering on others thoughts. Any help would be great

If you like weighted keys, and you can cope with a heavy board, I would go for the G8. I prefer lighter action for synth/organ playing, so I have the G7. This is all up to you to decide :-)

Is this normal? I find it hard to believe that this is permanent. Can this be taken off from cleaning? See also photo of the black keys that have a curve in the centre also on one of the photos. This is the G8 Im looking at buying but t looks well used.

I have a G7 because as when I was younger I was lazy, but if you want to greatly improve your playing ability get the G8!
