I have two of these, and there is massive space. http://audiobanshee.com/brianw/photos/20191008-4220.jpg http://audiobanshee.com/brianw/photos/20191008-4221.jpg The Oberheim Matrix-12 is deep, and there is full access. I assume that = the OB-8 is comparable. I recently saw an OB-8 on stage when Steve Roach performed in Pasadena, = but I didn=E2=80=99t get a sense of the exact size of the OB-8. Steve = was using a table. I never took piano lessons - I started on guitar - so = I never sit to play keyboards. I=E2=80=99m always standing, otherwise = I=E2=80=99d look like Easy Rider reaching the play the top keyboard.

He enjoyed it, but "complained" that it was not really = accessible (besides the keyboard itself). Why?
