I can remember selling GEM branded organs and keyboards in the early eighties. A tough sell, even then. The only GEM instrument I can remember standing out was the WS2 keyboard that came along a few years later. Lots of advanced sounds and features for its time, but pro-players recoiled at its bizarre user interface (eg having to delve into a menu to change the master volume!). We must have sold two dozen Roland E-70s for every one WS2 we shifted. Pity.
