I AM LOOKING TO SPEND ABOUT $3000 ,AND WANT BUILT IN SPEAKERS WITH 61 KEYS ,PLEASE SUGGEST====THANKS

Ray,
Would you be interested in a Technics KN5000 for under $600? It is a great keyboard sold for #3600 in it's day.

I know you quite possibly ARE a legitimate poster, Ray, but I am starting to have doubts...

Didn't you just ask this exact question on another post? And have so far not come up with anything in the way of important information for us to help you...

The only speakered 61 about $3000 is the Korg PA800 (a hair less, actually) and the Ketron SD-5. Most speakered 61's are more in the $1-2000 range.

In these price ranges, the Yamaha S910 is very popular (or at least, it's predecessor the S900), the Korg PA500 has fans too. You can find some used Roland E80's at well under $3000 (pretty heavy, though), too.

But we really need better info from you to make a recommendation WHICH.

Anybody can type 'Arranger keyboard' into Google and get all this pricing information instantly, but giving a recommendation WHICH is going to need more than '61 keys and speakers'

Hmmmmmmm?.....maybe John DiLeo syndrome is contagious?

Well, Nigel has the antidote...

Yep...and it's called a Nigelectomy.

Well, that post certainly gives the impression that you think that episode is a minor thing. That's unfortunate, because a lot of people felt very deceived (disgusted, actually), even more so because of your cavalier attitude about it. Perhaps you think it's a big joke. Most folks here, don't. I wasn't going to bring it up again but since YOU did, I think it has done more to undermine the integrity of this board than any other single act. Not perpetrated by a troll or passing troublemaker, but by a 'member of the family'. I'm not saying that you need to apologize, that's for you to decide. But I do think it is in your best interest to let it die a natural death.

Well judging by all the private emails after the JD saga of which many thought it wasn't so much of a crime as you describe....and I found out who my REAL SZ friends were around the world.I never thought you or a few others fell into that catagory which is no surprise. Thanx for bringing it up again makes me remember all the more. Family? give me a break.

If you think the people that condone your deception are your 'REAL' friends, then you need to upgrade your friends. Trust me, they're just feeding your fantasy of what constitutes acceptable behavior. How I feel about you personally is immaterial. It's called 'screwing up' and refusing to accept responsibility for it. If that quality makes you admired by some members here, then what can I say; I guess your 'charm' and (self-proclaimed) talent trumps honesty and integrity. Oh, and when I used the term "family", I was referring to a group of people that basically trust each other. So you're right, I guess we DO have to scrap that term now.

BTW, YOU brorght up JD, not me.

JD has been brought up many times after the fact if you do a search..forget that?....as for you telling me what friends to choose? That ain't gonna happen flat out...let's just say chas this is the last time WE converse on the SZ.
