I am starting to worry about you..

I reckon this was a wind up. Good 'un, Bill! LOL!

it's interesting what is being said here is being said also about the arranger keyboards we use. at one time i had a tyros, roland va 76 and a pa 80 on stage. many times musicians and others would say " oh i see your're playing one of those portable "1 finger organs". in some cases if i didn't have a keyboard like roland fantom,korg triton,yamaha motif , hammond i would not even be considered. i use to teach and sell for lowrey , i'm amazed that they are still in busines. by the way, i still play out on my psr1000 and korg i5 and do just fine in my retirement. i think it's funny that they put these styles in the organ. times are a changin.

Ooops ... Lowrey, Wersi, Wurlitzer (home organs) ... never did it for me. Sorry

Wrinkles... You know what? I've been playing arrangers as band keyboards for close on 20 years. Not ONE musician has ever come up to me and said (disparagingly) 'Oh, you're playing one of those portable one finger organs'!

In fact, the large majority, if they say anything at all, it's 'Wow! What is that you are playing? I've never seen one of those before! Sounds fantastic...'

Bottom line is, unless you rub their noses in the auto-accompaniment stuff, they haven't a clue what it is unless you ARE using a cheap Casio or Yamaha BOTL model! My Roland's have always LOOKED 'pro', feel 'pro' and sound as 'pro' as anything from the WS side of the coin. It is still more what you PLAY than what keyboard you play!

A couple of full time WS players with no arranger needs at all have heard me on the G70 and gone out and bought one for their live band work... So much for 'one finger organ'!

i agree, give me my arranger keyboard and i'll make money. in fact i've made more money and with a lot less work with my old korg i5 and psr1000 than i have with all other keyboards(organ and piano) combined over the years. it's just funny what people say. i'm looking at a new korg pa 600 and a yamaha s750 this year just for my home use.

I wonder if Organs will ever make their way back; after all what we are playing is one level of an organ.

My first Wersi Organ had a removable top – it separated from the Amp. and pedals. I was great but I bit too classy for who the people I was playing for. The sounds were too clean.

The only generation that venerates organs can't lift them any more...

Just sayin'!

You can't get anyone here to even move a 45lb arranger!

I miss my Old Lowery....
Hmmmmmmm just need a leather jacket?....
