The Prelude remains near the top of my ultra portable (with built in speakers) take anywhere budget arranger buy list. - Scott


Scott did you buy one yet? Would love to hear your personal review.
To me it might suffice for a lightweight KB to play as a stand alone on top of SMF/Mp3 backing tracks or maybe with a Band......but for solo "Style players" No Way Jose! compared to Yamaha or Korg in sound, versatility, & third party support.
