I've only had two: a Korg Poly 61 and a Kawai K1.  I have to go for the Kawai for its durability.  Now if we're talking other peoples keyboards, the Mellotron. Big smile
The first time I heard on in a recording I got goosebumps big time.
Oh if I could only have a keyboard that do a good Mellotron.  I've got some patches on the K1 that come close in envelope but...

Synclavier, Fairlight CMI, and Mellotron, yet my dear Roland XV-88 will always have a special place in my heart Cry

The Hammond-Organ; incomparable sound, it can be ferocious, spacey or simply deliver some jazzy/funky grooves.

Actually I prefer this, the Müller Organ (1735) from the Saint-Bavochurch in Haarlem, above the ones I had listed (and I'm proud to have been able to play it, as Händel, Mozart and Mendelssohn have all played it as well). One of the largest and best sounding organs in the world.

I love my Poly 61, although it's half-dysfunctional. I can't get a decent Clavinet out of it to save my life, but for 80's synthpop, spacey stuff and Kraftwerk sounds...that's it!
Percussion, sir!

Hammond Organ.  Nothing more satisfying to hear or play.
Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.
