Little Keyboards

Hi,
A little reflection ...
I noticed that some fans and musicians are nostalgic !
Indeed, even being equipped like gods with bigs pros synths, Some of you keep in the corner of the Home Studio their first small (s) keyboard(s) style Yamaha PSS
I am one of those ...
If this is your case, do you keep it as a simple decoration, or do you still play it (even anecdotal)?
I admit it's quite enjoyable to cohabit these "little keys" (midi for most ..) with the monsters of the past or present.
And ... they are "Vintage" instruments.... aren't they ?
And this sound ... Madam, listen to this sound....... Ahhhh ... A whole era ........
Go give me all your thoughts ...

I had an arranger some years ago, but sold it because I didn't want to play on synths anymore, then, 3 years after, I came on synths

I've got a load of Yamaha and Casio mini keyboards that I've circuit bent but will still operate normally. You can actually get some pretty good sounds out of them if you put them through some effects!

...wow, really cool...the first keyboard a M400! But is Melotron an imitation of the Mellotron?
I haven't sold my first keyboard too, especially because I would have got very little money and because I still love it, with all the work I did on it (much more than every other instrument I have now). And I feel a sort of gratitude towards it...
