I didn’t even play it. Refused shipment. Here’s where I hope my instructions to refuse shipment from the folks Sweetwater work out. Once it took me a month to get credit for my return this way...even based on their recommendation.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think Sweetwater is one of the best. I calculate that I’ve spent $18,000 with them these past couple of years.

So why send back the RD2000? Thing is, it can’t help me out with my limited skills, the way that my Casio PX560 can.

I bought the RD2000(wonderful keyboard...excellent price from Sweetwater)thinking that I could somehow, become some sort of piano player at the ripe age of 69. Probably won’t happen in my lifetime.

But when playing, I kept coming to the rhythms that Casio provides. The Roland RD2000 has drums only.

With a lot less effort(chords vs actual left hand notes)I can make a much bigger sound using rhythms, styles or what have you with the Casio....since I don’t have the skills of a piano player.

It wasn’t the service or price of the RD2000....Sweetwater gave me a great deal(even with the MN sales tax it doesn’t deserve).

It was me; it was admitting I didn’t have the skills to play a piano. It was me admitting, in reality, an arranger was the best option.
