The E80 is pretty heavy. Do you think you can lift it at your age? Don Mason had to give up on the G70 because of his feeble body.

Tom



I could see Don complaining he's real old but Im only 54 & cut

Diki...in the 60's & 70's I carried 4 Kbs stacked nightly plus 147 leslies & various amps & Pa's also.....you dont miss what isn't created yet .....but now we have lightweight KB's...that do the job admirably so why not embrace them.....
I didn't say I was getting a E80

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.... Over 50, and still capable of lifting 45 lb. without TOO much complaint. First keyboard capable of doing and feeling exactly the same as what I've got with ZERO sacrifice will get my money. Till then, enjoy your toys....

When they make a 25 lb. keyboard that sounds better and plays better than my G70, you let me know. Until then, at least admit you are making a compromise for the sake of a few pounds, rather than pretending you have an equivalent 'board...

Jeez, where are all the harmonica players calling you lightweight arranger players out...? You want to reduce weight? THERE'S a real lightweight....

If you every get the chance to see Uncle Dave perform with a -25lb 3k you might think twice before you post

Meanwhile the E80 has been dropped from my latest inquisitive list....I'm too busy playing to bother myself with when is it gonna come out scenarios......when the time comes & if it can be found & if I like it I'll buy one....otherwise the KB's I have do the job.

Donny how could you m8, no E80.

We'd started a sweep stake on Skype as to how long it would be before you sold one after getting it hehe - just kiddin'

You don't need another new toy if the one you already use gets you bookings and $ (which it obviously does).

Well, you haven't heard me on the G70 either....

I guarantee you can find someone that plays the heck out of a ten year old Casio. Doesn't mean that you should all go out and get one.

And why can't we compare apples to apples? Find a 25 lb. 76-er, THEN come and gloat....

It's like I say 'my minivan can go 90 mph.' and someone replies 'yeah, so what... My Maserati does 185....' and then, after you go 'yes, but I can get 15 people in my minivan' they go 'But my Maserati does 185'...!

dnj, why dont YOU post some tunes...you are always pestering others to do so, asking for demos of this and that and then having the discourtesy of essentially saying you didnt really care anyway as what you've got is all you are interested in????...so come one, don't be the one who "talks the most and does the least"..show us YOUR stuff
