Adi, you are right...I looked for months to find another E-60..new or like new..after I sold my first one....I lucked out finding another 3 month old unit...

If the E-60 was the only keyboard I owned..I would not even have entertained the idea of selling it....Keep in mind I do compare the E-60 side by side to my G70..Often,,with the exception of a couple drum kits on the E-60....it can not run with the G70......As a stand by and a second board..it is a win/win for me..

But compare it to all the other arrangers I recently owned and played...The E-60 reigns over them..easily...

You are welcome, Fran!

Fran congrats on your latest E60 "SAVE"...........& btw, can't wait for your WERSI review this week on your trip to the Wersi Showroom.......Whoops

Fran said... The E-60 is 7 pounds more with a touch screen and speakers..

The lyric read and make up tools..makes the E-60 much..much more desirable..

And the one feature that I keep going back to the E-60..the drum kits are simply the best...

After I played the Stage...it made me more reluctant to sell the E-60..

Fran, I'm happy you didn't sell. The e60 is, as you know, a very under-rated arranger.
I was happy to read you quick review of the Juno Stage 76, as I haven't had the opportunity to see or play one. It looks like an interesting machine, but you and I need to compare it to the e60. There aren't too many others out there that have that problem, so maybe the Stage 76 would be a good board for them.

Back and breathing

Maybe THEY need to compare it to the E60 before they make a purchase, too...

A 76 arranger at little above the weight of an S900, and a lot of the G70's strengths, to boot. If my back ever goes out on me, you can bet that's what I'm getting while I convalesce

Understood, Diki but where are you going to find one? It's not as if Roland is selling them on every (or any) street corner.

Craving a little attention, Fran? Else, what the h-ll was the purpose of this post? Another 'bridge to nowhere'.

Your buddy,

chas

cassp,
good to see you back!

I accidentally sent this post twice and it's hard enough to read it once.
Sorry, it's my first misteak ever.

Yeah Cassp, I'm glad you are feeling well enough to jump in here again. BTW I'm still trying to get "The Weight" worked out. It's one of those songs I always liked and should have worked out years ago. Your version INSPIRED me my friend.
Fran, I like the drums on my E50 too. Not quite as good as Ketron, but very good. DNJ tells me they sound like someone banging on cans in the garage but I think he's just jealous or has better ears than I do.
