Some in the comments of this post think we should rename the mighty keytar. Like it's too geeky or something. If you have anything better to call it, feel free to comment. I'll leave you with these classic keytastic videos while you ponder what could possibly relabel the classic keytar. Update: Polls added.

ReplyDeleteIt's not that keytar's too geeky. It's that it is defining the name of a keyboard based on the word "guitar", our arch nemesis. I never liked the word "keytar" either.
keytard
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter what you call it. Your going to look retarded when you wear it anyways. Especially if its a Yamaha SH-101. I still can't believe I was able to sell that craptastic toy for $350 and buy a Korg DW-8000 for $150.
ReplyDeleteYou can so get flamed for that around here....
ReplyDeleteChicks look good in keytars..not so much the men.
DON'T CALL MY MOOG STRAP-ON A "KEYTAR" KTHX.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget the majesty of the Yamaha DX-100 on a two-hundred-fifty pound dude in spandex...
ReplyDeletesuitandtieguy is right. They are seriously called strap-on keyboards. I was just reading the book "Synthesis Techniques" put out by Keyboard mag in 1984 and it uses this term exclusively. I think it works best because it covers controllers and synths with one term.
