What am I thinking?????
I now have three generations of Korg arrangers at home. i5s - is35 - i30 ! Add to that the arrival of my new(old) RHODES 88 key piano, and I'm definatly going backwards!
Seriously, I'm excited about the Rhodes, and the Korgs ...... well, they just multiply when it's dark! Must be an Easter Bunny type thing !
I'm having surprisingly good luck with the 2000, but I just don't trust the keys to hold up to the daily workout. That's why the "reserves" are at the ready in the studio at home !
Boy ....... I wish I could just be happy with one thing ....... even for a little while! It's amazing. The last setup that really knocked my socks off was in the late 80's. I had a Roland Rhodes digital piano(88keys), a Yamaha drum machine and a Roland D70. NOTHING automatic. NOTHING sequenced. I miss those simple days. The problem with that setup was portability. Funny ( and TRUE) story about that gear -
When I left that room after a year long 5 night per week contract. I sold the entire rig to my replacement ! Right down to the mic cable ! I grabbed my check, said my goodbys, kissed the bartender bye bye(she was a cutie pie !), and I was outta there !

You are partly not alone with this one;
The funny thing is that I also can say goodbye very easy from keyboards/synth's..
good offer....SOLD....

There's no way I can do this with my guitars.
THEY STAY! whatever is offered..

Tell me why???

....because when you buy a guitar there are always strings attached?
best wishes

Oh Tony .........whew.
I feel the same way about guitars. They have a life .... a personality. Everyone is different. They change with age, and they mature, as we do. (or SHOULD!)
Keyboards are just a bunch of plastic and soap, and can be replaced as easily as changing your socks.

I decided .... the i30 has to go. (again)
Since I got the is35, there is no real advantage for me. It's only a studio controller anyway, and instead of sliders - there are dedicated push buttons right under the screen. The piano is better on the is35, and there is a useable mic input and speakers. So - the i30 is up for grabs.
I'll post the sale in the right section.

OK - it's done.
The Rhodes went to the Guitar Center, and the i30 is at my buddy's store. Anyone that want's the i30 can call Don direct at 215-736-8055. He'll make a special deal for you "zonies"

I agree with everyone about guitars too. I have one that I will NEVER sell regardless of what's offered to me.. It's in storage and only comes out for me to drool over every so often... I have a vintage (mint) 1962 Fender strat played only (3) times. I have the original vintage case, reciept, cable, picks, unused strings, strap, and a few other things.. The guitar was bought by my grandfather who played it 3 times and couldn't get the hang of it.. He got pissed off, took off the strings and put in in the case and there it sat until 1997! Spent 35 years sitting in the case... In 1997 my grandfather told me he had an old guitar that I was welcome to have... He had no idea of its worth.. When I opened the case and saw this thing I almost passed out... I'll never get rid of it..
