I was very fortunate yesterday to be treated to a 3 hour demo by Roland District Sales Manager Travis Mitchell at Colton Music, my local dealer here in San Jose. I have concluded that Travis must know every thing there is to know about this keyboard and some tricks that nobody else even knows yet.
The President of Colton Music, Dave Gatt, my local dealer, made me an offer that was exactly the number I had in mind. They must be mindreaders as well You will also have to be a mindreader if you expect to find out the price I agreed to Don't ask. Just know that Colton has three stores in our Bay Area and they will deal. They also have the G 70's in stock.
I expect delivery in about another week so stay tuned.
I will be selling a Yamaha Tyros 2 and a PSR 9000 both with hard drive and maximum ram memory installed if anyone has any interest, just let me know. NO, I have no idea of current values so you can let me know about that too
Best to all

IF NOT THEN WHY NOT?

Bebop. I agree, but we all appear to post on General Arranger Keyboard Forum.
Perhaps we can take your lead and post on the Roland Forum in future.

I may be joining you tomorrow with an E80 also.

wow, Graham, That is great. I won't get mine until next Thursday and now that I am reading the manual I am getting anxious.
Let us try to get this forum going for us E 50, E 60, and E 80 owner/players.
Best,
Bebop

Once again, I am NOT encouraging anyone to leave here, but to ADD this to your list of places with first-rate Roland resources and information. Three years and counting....

This new site (or at least it's predecessor, the Danish G70 Users Club - in English!) I think, is one of the reasons this forum has languished a bit, lately. Take a look around, and see if it does not cover your needs for Roland information and community....

If you are new to Roland arrangers, the resources there are alone worth the visit.
