I may have to sell my beloved PA4X. Health not good these days, and I think I want to go to something lighter in weight. Sure hate to part with it, but time moves on.
I'm thinking $2,600. to US. It is in great condition.

Really sorry for your health, Don ... take care ... we NEED you here ...

Re the 4X ... I could only consider it if it came fully loaded with your talent...

I'll stick a couple hundred recordings in there for you to laugh at!

Please Don. Don't sell your beloved keyboard. Things are going to get much better for after this rough spot. I can't think of any replacement you could consider that would be lighter than your Korg.

Is there anyway that you could leave your instrument set up at the gig?

Laugh at??? No Way ...

Thank you. Actually I do leave it set up at the job. But I would like to take it home with me sometimes and I have to get someone to load it, then when I get home have to get my young, hot wife to unload it! Not supposed to lift more than about 20 pounds.
Another factor is that my fingers and wrists are hurting after four hours on the semi-weighted action. I need lighter keys, in direct opposition to what most people want.

To read this make me sad.
It also reminds me about that we'll never know what there is in front of us when we pass
the next curve down the road, neither what may happen within an hour or tomorrow.
All the best wishes for you Don, hope you'll find a good substitude for the PA4X.
Whatever that will be, we know it will sound amazingly good, like DonM always does.
As Donny use to say: It's not the keyboard, it's the player!

I see a Genos in your future!

Gary

Don and Genos would be perfect like hand in glove.
Thinking obout it, I think it would be a good match for Gary as well.

Gunner, if I had longer to live, I would have already purchased a Genos. I just got back from seeing a surgeon about having a ventral hernia repaired laparoscopicly. He said he that at this time, the hernia was not posing any risk, but the biggest risk would be for me to undergo general anesthesia. He said with my lung condition, plus having a couple heart attacks, I probably would not survive the anesthesia, even though it would only be a 20 to 30 minute procedure. He also told me that the pain I was experiencing was not from the hernia, but instead, my arthritic hip joints. He showed me the large amount of calcium deposits within the joints, which I will just have to suffer with. Oh well, I still have my S-950, a good supply of Jim Beam Honey Bourbon, and a bottle of morphine tablets. Not a bad combination if I could figure out how to play music while I'm totally stoned.

All the best,

Gary
