No No No Bill, Wooden cabinet, wooden head who designed it, no one does wood anymore, and the sounds are for very old men, I suppose someone will buy one, Bontempi sold a few with imitation wood, mind you that was 30 years back. Even Wersi don't do wood, the guy was really proud it was in wood!

Great demos. I wish all the manufacturers would do something like this.

I ran these demos through my Bose L1 Compacts and the sounds are
outstanding. If you are listening only on your PC or laptop there is no way you can hear what is really being played. The spec sheet said it weighs 42.8 pounds. At 3999 British Pounds it would be just over $6,200.00.

Hammer,

You would need two people to carry it and two people to buy it, am I going nuts, is there a market for such a thing.

It's not for me, but for an organist who wants good arranger features and a fairly small footprint it would be good. And not everybody is as poor as we are Tony!

Very good demo, players and sounds.

“The spec sheet said it weighs 42.8 pounds. At 3999 British Pounds it would be just over $6,200.00.”
Years back I had a Wersi organ that that allowed me to dismantle the pedals and the stand so that I could use it as a portable. Two 61 note keyboards – wood exterior similar to the Orla. Great sound but to classy for the job; it was quality, clean sound and too heavy. If you listen to some of the demoes of the Orla and close your eyes you can picture an Organ.
My assumption is that keyboards that come from an organ based company are basically the top part of the organ with some extras. They certainly sound like they do. So at a weight of 42.8 pounds and a price of 3999 British Pounds -- $6,200.00 USA I feel they are right on the money. Think organ and then the Orla keyboard; you cannot compare it to a Tyros 4 or a Pa3x they are different animals. Personally, the Orla or Wersi keyboards and a set of base pedals is enough organ for me. I hate pedals -- I tried them with my guitar; press the base pedal with the left foot and with your right foot you turned right for major – left for minor and I forgot the rest.
I was a one man band with my guitar and the auto guitar unit; the guitar and microphone were wireless. The owner of the club asked me if I could do the wireless thing and cover the bar and the main room. I said I would at twice the price; the conversation was over.
Just sharing, John C.

Hi Deane

I ran it through high end equipment but fail to see what is so special about these sounds.
It honestly sounds like my PSR 9000 thats collecting dust. The styles sound very Yamaha-ish. Sounds are also pretty dated.
Im all for new keyboards coming out, but sound wise this keyboard takes a few steps back.

10 out of 10 David, you’re on the money, everything you said is spot on. There is no one left in the UK old enough to buy one. How these people do their marketing is beyond me, that why the price is so high, they are only likely to sell a few.

A little man in a garden shed making them also keeps to cost down.
