The local GC near me has had less Roland keyboards than I've seen in years past. The only arranger keyboards are a PSR series and a MM8. Everything else is either digital pianos or workstations. I asked about the Roland VR9, which I figured they would get, and the Keyboard Manager said it was one they wouldn't be stocking it locally. The market didn't support the possible sell of it. I had thought that the VR9 would have been a solid keyboard for people that were looking for one that was performance oriented.

As for arranger keyboards, very few of the local stores around me have ever carried anything except the entry level ones. There's an independent store that still has a GW8, but the dust on it makes it appears that it's been sitting there for awhile.

As for the Roland BK series the local GC said that if I was interested, then I would have to buy it and have it shipped in.
