KevB Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 The female lead vox in one of my previous bands also played keytar. I was never really 100% convinced by it but it served a purpose. We could get real keys in to songs without taking up the silly amounts of stage space that most stand mounted keyboards would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
