Believe it or not, but I had one of these in the 80's but with real keys, but the same size...
Like the one this guy plays in this video at 1:10 min:

The stick/drum sound is from the casio..
Eric

Found it. Here it is:

I had one of these as well. The nostalgia for the VL is strong enough that there are at least 2 freeware VSTi versions of this ( I have them both ) and from what I can remember of it both are spot on emulations.

The Casio VL: featured on the song: "Da, Da, Da" by German band Trio

Weirdly and quirkedly cool. A certain 'je ne sais que' there, or whatever the German equivalent is of that.

Casio has such a recognizable sound...

Scott,

Not to certain I could stand that all night, whats this all about, justification for buying a small
KB, you don't need to do that, it's just a case of how small is small, anyway what's this about USA going small, that's not right. Empire State Building ???


Not sure where this is leading, just taking up server space!

Reagrds

Tony, ya been out hunting again.
How many birds did you bring down today?
Certainly beautiful English Countryside scenery though.

Scott,

20 on the floor, man of the match today, that video looks like where I've been today Wales.


Regards

Tony

That's as bad as shooting sitting ducks

Why not just go trap shooting.....

If you are really hunters..go on foot thru rough terrain...with a pistol...and hunt grizzly..

Here on Cape Breton Island they hunt with a single shot derringer to give the grizzly a chance.

Ian

Spot on,Tony...Bettws Newtown,Powys ,Mid Wales. Beautiful Country.

Dad was from LLanidloes Eddie, even more breath-taking

Frans obviously not been on a Pheashant shoot, sitting ducks my arse, they were doing 80mph with the wind yesterday. Just as a matter of interest, we were shooting in a small valley yesterday and right in front of use two helicopters dropped of some SAS troops, they have to find their way back to base, 70 miles away, with no money or bus pass, perhaps hold up an old lady at knife point and take her car.

Tony

Interesting, Tony,...you are also in to 'shoots'!
That is regarded as a privileged sport in our area...of course although we are all made equal, some are more equal than others

As for Fran and Ian, forgive them , they are "macho" guys from across the pond and we brits are more civilised

nos da

You were almost right there Scott.....actually it was in Wales
Birthplace of Tom Jones and Tony's DAD!

Late 80's when I was about 20 years old, I called a Scottish man "English", as in "...and what do you as an Englishman, think of XXX"

This was before Braveheart and I don't think that many 20 year olds in Greece were aware that England, Scotland and Wales are "different" things... You live in "England" (the island) you are "English", that was the extent of our knowledge.

I still remember the horror and anger on his face. "I AM SCOTTISH, NOT ENGLISH"... in which in my naivete I replied "Errrr, isn't it the same thing?"...BOOM!!!

Trident, thanks for the clarification.
Though I was aware that England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland are seperate Countries of the United Kingdom,
I mistakenly thought Wales is a western region of England. Oops.
I think the confusion for some of us, esp Americans, is that the U.S.A consists of 50 "States",
while the United Kingdom consists of 4 seperate "Countries": England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
To further add to the confusion, the entire United Kingdom is considered one soveriegn State.

It's ok Scott, we know you were a music major
Yup I am still around but less so. I will hit that 80 mark next month. I still play a lot but don't write or record much anymore. BUT LIfe is good.
Thanks,
Bebop
PS I am BSME so I didn't know about Wales either. I know about Mersea though if I spelled it right. Most beautiful place.

Birthplace of myself, too. Albeit a good while ago.

I am sorry to have strayed from the original purpose of this thread, but if I could be allowed just one more comment on Wales and the Welsh people.....
In my travels I have got to know many welsh people and the overriding passion of the welsh is music! and all things connected.
They also have great singing voices and wonderful acting ability.
I also find that within their personality there is often a touch of madness! ( in the nicest possible way!!)
All in all they tend to have great camaraderie and respect for their heritage......so how about a great rendition of "Men of Harlech" from you all!

So 'that' explains it!
We still love ya Tony !

I used to be a werewolf but I'm alright Knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Time to update your avator:

I vast improvement on the original

That was very brave of you Scott....
I nearly added that myself but refrained bcause of the possible reprisal

Scott is in SF, too far away, no fear of reprisals...
You are in Rotherham, too close for comfort...

Being in SF is not a hiding place from the Welsh
THey are said to have evil powers which can transport them like the other Scott as in "beam me up scotty"!!!!!!

Evil powers, wizards, etc. That's how I got beamed into Canada. Say hi to Kimberworth Park for us please, Eddie.

Kimberworth Park, eh? Now there's a nice part of town. I pass through there every time I travel north or west, 'cause I live just around the corner in Upper Haugh!(I bet the north americans would make us laugh trying to pronounce that [sounds like Horff] )
If you care to talk, you can mail me from this forum. I am at an age where lots of people come to me and say 'do you remember so-and-so...of course I do! I could write a potted history of the place.
cheers.
