It's appearance reminds me of the E35 vintage 1991 that I used to have and loved.
If the E-09 sounds as good or better than the E35 for $550 at l6 lbs, I'd probably get one myself if it's got 10 - 20 important good rhythms and at least 20 real good voices.
I just remembered I have a recording of me playing the E35 from several years ago on my web site.
It's the Louie Prima song "I Wanna Be Like You" that he did for Disney.
I found it on a test CD that I had done. The balance wasn't that good and for some reason it was a little muffled on the recording, but I thought it was representative of what I was offering for possible clients. You can get the essense of it's sound.
