One issue that seems to pass by due to everyone's excitement and enthusiasm over MZ-2000 is the service.

Gustavo has already stated from the beginning that there is " very little or almost no support " and this seems to be something that is being overlooked by the MZ's promoters.

The MZ-2000 is not only out of production,the company that produced it for Casio,Technics,is also not making keyboards any more!!!

No product is perfect,and will sooner or later require attention,and the parts to repair an MZ-2000 may become very scarce,especially under the conditions I have just stated,and the ones expressed by Gustavo in his opening statements.

While it may be nice to own a "classic" it does bring it's attendant problems,much like owning a rare classic car would present,and I think a prospective purchaser,should consider the whole package,not just the thrill of getting a unique instrument. Retro synths are nice,but the reason they are being produced as "software plug-ins"is because maintenance is very expensive and parts are difficult to find.I imagine,finding parts for an MZ-2000 in Argentina would be more than difficult,especially considering it's Technics parenthood.

I think this is a consequence of buying and owning an MZ-2000,as wonderful as it is, that can't be stressed enough because of the very real potential of not being able to have it fixed,warranty or not.....and once out of warranty,the issue of maintenance/repair will be very expensive,judging by the outrageous purchase price of keyboards in Argentina.

At least the PSR-3000 is still in production,and Yamaha has a great history of maintaining parts availability.

Yeah,the MZ-2000 is nice.......but the Yamaha is truly much more practical in every way........better to have "bread and butter " than "burnt toast" that you can't eat.
