Monday I ordered the KORG Pa500 from a MAJOR Music Store via PayPal. They promised it would be here by Friday or sooner, as I needed it for my weekend gigs...Mon,....Tue,...goes by
I still didn't get a shipping conformation email w/ tracking # ...... I call up customer service and they tell me they are still processing the KB??????? What?...2 days and its not shipped, paid in full?
Now I know it will never be here for the weekend unless they ship it 1,2 day air due to their delay. So the so called REP says they would CANCEL the order, and REORDER it with overnight Air shipping for the inconvenience. After they cancel the original order, they say because it was done via PayPal they cannot transfer the funds to the NEW order but I would have to WAIT THREE MORE DAYS for them to REFUND the Funds into my PAPAL account so I can REORDER the unit, I have been on the phone with customer service 5 times so far..!!!!
I don't want to mention the company at this time, but I will NEVER deal with them again. mad mad mad mad mad ......I will still be getting a KORG KB, but definitely Not from these people.......to be continued!

Frankie at Audioworks CT is ALWAYS my first choice Tony,I have bought many keyboards and other gear from him thru the years & actually ordered it first from him. BUT, his KORG shipment was delayed a bit a few weeks, I always get next day service from him, no fault of Franks so I had to look elsewhere. If you need gear call him..Frank is ACES!! clap

Donny,

You said "to be continued " where are you getting from, if it was Tusla, it will be here in 24hours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkYRPumSU_8 . It's a pain when you need it for your work and people make promises they don't keep, you did right to cancel it and get it from some else. Donny do you play song like this one, it's my era.

Good luck good Buddy

Hope you get fixed up for the weekend

Tony

BTW Donny looks like my Audya is on its way out of our house and into some one else's... woot

Tony, DNJ would do this song great! Tulsa is actually my home town. Trivia: My friend Dean produced an album in Nashville for Gene back in the 70's. He said that Gene was truly a great vocalist, but that's pretty obvious.

I just got back from another KMA gig ....3 in three days with it...and it worked admirably .....To be honest they did allow me a 75.00 store credit also & free overnight shipping also.........if I decide to reorder it again or buy something else.....now its just a waiting game for PayPal refund administration delays....meanwhile as always both my Philly boyz Fran & Uncle Dave always have my back with backup keyboards or gear just in case that's what friends do!!
Btw congrats Tony on selling your Audya...so whats next?

Don,

That's interesting, Gene was a great singer, and there were lots more around that time, they were fantastic days, never to return.

Hope Donny get sorted out with a KB, do you think he would have liked the Audya.

Tony I was with don at the jam in Louisiana a few years ago when prince AJ brought the NEW Audya prototype to demo for us...I wanted it then as did Don.....last year Fran & I were at Prince AJ's lab and demoed the new Audya 5......it has so many kool features for live performance....and with some good setting up it could sound amazing for sure...yes there are problems, but if they can correct them the Audya IMO is still an arranger KB to be reckoned with, a bit expensive also.
I loved my Ketron X1, X9, SD1+, Midjay also....but sadly they are gone....some shipped across the pond also. wink

Don & Donny


I went away to Spain last year for a holiday and I met a chap there same age as me, called Mike, got talking and found out he liked music , got lots of 45 rpm in his roof space, all the song and artist I liked. He started talking about his mum, she worked as a cleaner in Halloway Rd, London, well things went on a bit and then I said have you got TELSTAR by the Tornados, OMG his mother was Joe Meeks cleaner, Joe Meeks was homosexual and you know he wrote or was involved in a lot of number ones in those days, his mum took him to Joe’s recording studio a few times in Halloway Rd and she said don’t you go talking to him, the homosexual thing no doubt. Joe made Mike a tape recorder, Joe Meek as you know blow his head off with a shotgun, was a tragic end to a very clever chaps. Wonder how many more gems he would have made had he not killed himself. It's a small World .

Nice little stories for bed time BOOOOW, true.

Telstar! A lot of us grew up on that one, Tony. And talking about mini-keys (which we weren't), that was done on a Clavioline, a sort of bolt-on, one and a half octave, monophonic keyboard. I almost paid 15 quid for one back in c.1959.

Joe Meek was into more than pop records, though. He experimented with all sorts of sounds and effects, all from his 'studio' which was in his mum's house and about the size of your average bathroom. I remember going there once with a few of the lads in my band to drop off some tapes we'd done. You couldn't get in the door for cables and wires everywhere. Good times!

YES 124,

I knew all about the Selmar Clavoline, one sold on ebay about 6 mths back for £650.00 Doh.

Ruddy hell! I should've spent that 15 quid. I see it had more keys than I remember, too.
