Many have said they sound very Hokey,
Cheesy, old fashioned, etc,...
but that is all personal preference.
Hey if someone likes them so be it....
just not my cup of tea. Enjoy.
Personally haven’t seen anyone mention that. Still , everyone has their own taste.
Don’t know if I’d use them for melody, might depend on the song,but they do sound good in the style.
Pity you didn’t have time to check them out while you had the sx.
P.s When is your Roland arriving? they on a go slow or something.
