I am no longer accepting offers for the E-50..The keybed was surprisingly better than I expected...Donny was telling me it was slightly better feel than the PSR...He lied..it is a lot better..The E-50 has the same keys as the Juno G, but has better resistance...Although shorter than the E-60 both key range and key length..I can play it without getting totally disgusted as I was with my PSR's and even my Juno G.

The E-50 case is not made as well as the E-60..The E-60 had a steel support structure under the front of the keybed..The E-50 is all plastic...

I am one of the few that actually liked and used the D-beam....E-50 doesn't have D-beam (as I knew it didn't)..

I have set it up to be as close as possible to what I am use too..on my G70...naturally with a lot of "do with outs"...It takes some getting use to...but I did that with my 2 E-60's also...

My plan is to use it with the band, along with a laptop..and the Mackie CFX12 mixer...Still very compact set up..for the many one nighters on our summer schedule..

I will also use the E-50 as a controller for my soft synths on the laptop...My Pianissimo piano and B4 organ..always available..


Soooooooo...my studio has my G70 sitting above my MediaStation.(BTW: I used the MS this week..problem free)....and the EMU Xboard61 controller is also studio used now...

I may take the 10 pound Emu to the band gigs to use as a dedicated Piano/organ...It has full size semi weighted keys and after touch...USB powered..And not much gear to haul with me..


If someone wants to make a deal with me for a E-60... I am listening...I would welcome the D-beam and extra keys..again..


But for now ..I am a happy camper..
