ok, let's see....

Early years...
Casio CTK 1000 (interesting for it's sound scape all those 25 years or so ago),
Yamaha PSR9000Pro (decent arranger).
Korg 01WProX (first master piano which I still owned until December 2017)

The serious stuff: (Studio / Production environment until December 2017)
Korg 01WProX, 01R, M1REX, M1, Wavestation A/D, Wavestation SR, Trinity Rack, Triton Rack fully expanded.
Roland: D50 x2, D550 x2 with expansion boards, JD990 Rack, XV5080, JV880, Integra 7, Fantom XR.
Yamaha: A5000 x 2, Motif ES Rack, Motif Rack, TG500 rack, AN1X, VL70M with WX5.
Kurzweil: K2600SX, K2500 rack.
AKAI: S6000 expanded, Z8.
Novation: Supernova 2 ProX rack,
Nord: Lead 1, Lead 1 rack, lead 2 rack, lead 3 rack, lead 4 rack, Lead A1 Rack, Stage 2-88.
Waldorf: Q Rack.
Allen: 3 manual digital (transistor) organ recovered from a catholic school after I left for Music College (required servicing - was restored)
nearly everything was rack based, besides some master keyboards.

Sadly, all this was sold after dad passed away, Saturday 7th December is the 2nd anniversary (passed Thursday 7th December 2017). The sale was to save our home or be homeless.

Short story short

In chronological order
(2006 - posting this)

Casio CTK-800
Yamaha DGX-650
M-Audio Keystation 61 Mk1 (+ Mac)
Roland Juno DS61 (for sale)
Nord Stage 3 Compact

Quite an upgrade from DS61 to NS3C, 0 regrets about that…
