Wow! That board really has him ticked off

I have had 35 or 40 keyboards over the years and still have 10 of them in here.
I play the E 80 and study the manual every day to learn some more of the many tricks it hides and I am sooooo happy with it that I will prolly play and keep it for ever. It works for me and I am sorry to hear that the E 60 didn't work for Donnie. He still gigs out and I don't so maybe that makes the difference. I think this E 80 is ideally suited for my home recording studio. In fact I could sell most of the equipment in here now that I have this keyboard, and I might just be doing that pretty soon .

The E60 is a marketing dud in the US - that's so TOO BAD As a midline arranger it sports all the major goodies from the G70 minus a few things like the drawbar section and the vocal harmonizer. Also a few editing parameters are minimized.

As an arranger/playing tool it is marvelous. I bought a B-stock for around $1200, having been told the new stuff is around $1500-1600, but as you know finding a new model is next to impossible. I loved my E60 immensely and just now sold it only to return to a G70 for personaal reason. My board was in pristeen shape - ask Harol S - and I can pretty much guess that Fran's/Donny's E60 is equally mint.

As for cases, there are just a few that fit correctly. Guardian makes a thin 76 semi-hard case as does Groove Pak (Sam Ash). You have to be sure you ask for the thin model as the stock numbers are similar.

I've bought all my recent Rolands online, sight unseen and never been dissatisfied. Check out you sellers and know your equipment. Make sure everything meets your expectations. If you want Donny's E60, I assure you that it is a good price for great arranger keyboard.

The Guardian 76 case is perfect size for the Roland E60, lightweight & semi hard foam.

PS. Cass email me.

Well, shut my mouth !!! more to follow

Cass it was nice talking with you yesterday....

After some serious thought, I've decided to keep the E60. It is no longer available.

Thank You

Donny.....that's twice you did that to me with one of your keyboards. Do you actually know what you're doing? Here I am pondering for two days about whether or not to buy your E-60, and you pull the carpet out from under me again.

The next time I see something for sale here....I don't care if it's used $10 bills for $5.....if it says DNJ on the left it's going to be Hasta Lasagna (Chinese for "no-way, Jose") for me!

Lucky

Good for you Donny.

Lucky.....sorry for upsetting you it was definitly not my intent but things change in a pros world very fast ....I have sold many keyboards through the years & if I make a deal it's always SOLID & most times the recipient gets the "better end of it" also as Many people already know..
I make split second decisions all the time. Probably if you would of jumped on the deal at first light it would be on a FedEx truck to you immediately .....but after 3 very big gigs since posting & "personal mentored resolve" to some of the issues I was having performing on stage led to a change of plans resulting in not moving it. If you seek a Roland E60 I'm sure you can find one, give George Kaye, Frankieve, or AJ a shout.

Good luck to you

Thanks Dennis it was a rough Tug of War for sure, but I think I did the right thing especially right before a grueling Holiday gig season.

kind regards
