Hope you had a great birthday!
I must agree that is a great gift. My birthday is in July and I wouldn't turn one down.

Guitpic1, Happy belated birthday!!! The Genos makes a nice birthday gift.


I join the ranks of you and Saxxman. I’m a 3 arranger guy at the moment, Genos, Pa4x and s970. The s970 will go up for sale in late March. Living an hour from Boston will help with the sale. I’ll put it on Craigslist and if history repeats itself it should be sold in a week to 10 days, maybe 2 weeks. I won’t let the Pa4x go and the Genos will stay too.

Gotta blame somebody for the obsession with arrangers so it will be my wife. Once upon a time I was happy just having a grand piano in the living room. In 2002 for my birthday she brought home a $139 Casio special from Circuit City. I laughed and said what am I gonna do with this toy when I’ve got this beautiful Samick grand sitting here. I opened the Casio box anyway and I had some fun with it. I took it too a couple of parties and a July 4th celebration, next thing you know I bought a Clavinova CVP 107. The piano sounded really great on the Clavinova and the action was excellent too,..........and there went the grand I sold it, I also got tired of having it tuned and the action regulated @ $100 a pop 2 to 3 times per year................and on and on. I too said the Pa4x would be my last arranger. My last arranger will probably be when they are giving me “last rites.”

Arrangers can be addicting

Can be?
It is addicting! Big time!

When Technics production was ended, I bought a 76 keys keyboard, Ketron SD1.
I must admit that one or another of the former models I had, still would be more than enough for my dayly needs.
Since I quit smoke tobacco in 1993, arranger keyboards is my #1 addiction.
At least as long as we talk about material things ...

I guess they are healthier too!
