While a tragic fate may still await most guys that play the keytar, there may still be hope.
This photo proves that a guy can look completely badass playing the Zen Riffer Solo Axe – a custom MIDI keyboard instruments.
Unfortunately, these start at about $3,000. Anybody made an equally bad ass portable keyboard?

The guy is Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater, but I suposse that you already know it.
Sorry, I think this looks bulky and ridiculous.
I’d like to see a portable version of that curved keyboard Jean-Michel Jarre played — he’s had some way out there controllers!
I was listening to Jan Hammer jams in the iTunes Store yesterday and it just made me think of how I’d like to see him collab with Rudess.
Here’s Jan Hammer (with a keytar) and Jordan (wearing MC Hammer pants)…and Jan & Tony Williams trade twos.

What the hell is it with bald people and keytars anyway?
he shaved it you furry clown.
It looks like a giant mustache – but seriously, $3000 for a 2 octave controller? It looks like somebody tore up an Oxygen.
I think the key (pun!) is that it can't have the body shape of a guitar, or the traditional color and shape of piano keys. I'd like to see something like a C-Thru Axis or the snyderphonics mantra in a shoulder hung format…
