This Kurzweil K2600 is in incredible condition, with the original owner's manuals and sustain pedal. I am also including the most up-to-date operating system and factory voice disks (which are already loaded into the keyboard). It really looks and feels brand new. I've pre-loaded a number of patches from Kurzweil's page - the floppy drive seems to work perfectly, so if you have a floppy to USB drive, you have the entire internet's K2000/2500/2600 patch library to choose from.



This keyboard is more or less a "modular" digital synth in that you define the structure of its synth engine. You can "cascade" 3 layers of processing before FX, so a single program can, for example, have full 6-operator FM synthesis. Or analog-style waveforms fed into several cascaded filters. It's pretty much an open environment with great modulation and MIDI control capabilities. The thickness of the manuals gives you a hint about how deep you can get with this.



I believe this cost somewhere around $4000-$5000 when it came out. This keyboard was (and is) the go-to for Broadway pit orchestras and the like, so you know it's a professional and reliable piece of gear that will probably last you for decades to come. Billy Joel's keyboardist/music director still uses two of these on stage in 2016 (albeit the 88-key and 61-key versions).



The keys are semi-weighted and feel really nice. The aftertouch is much more responsive than the average keyboard. In addition to its synth and workstation features, this is a monster of a MIDI controller - two ribbons which can be programmed separately (and one of which transmits aftertouch), 8 faders, 6 pedal inputs, etc. I have tested all I/O ports except for SCSI and breath control, although I have no reason to believe that those wouldn't work.
