I am planning on buying a arranger for computer assisted music playing. I'm not a keyboard musician yet I played drums so I will be practicing and for fun. My ears however don't like cheesy sounds . I have been looking at korg Pa50 and roland E-50. I have not seen the E-50 here in US stores yet but have seen video and audio clips online. Yesterday I went to local guitar center store and played with the korg pa50, it seemed like a decent keyboard but I noticed the keys didn't feel right sort of loose or cheap material. I know this board is made in china.
I would appreciate your comments re these 2 boards an your experiences. Also do the guys here that like the pa50 have the chinese version?

Regards,

Matt

Hi Matt

if you are in the LA area you should stop by George Kay.
He has all the keyboards at his store and he is the nicest guy to work with.

I bought 2 top end keyboards from him and my 3rd one will be from him again.
He'll give you a good price and you get ALL the customer service that other stores can't give you plus he is VERY knowledgeable about all the brands.

You won't be dissapointed:

Good luck

Eric

Yeah, George is the man over in California. You can't find a better (or more honest) arranger dealer.

He'll give you good, accurate and unbiased arranger advice... Take it, you won't regret it!

Thanks guys!
Matt, if you live in the Los Angeles area I am in the San Fernanado Valley. I have both the E50 and the PA50 in my store and will show you both. If you don't live in LA, you can still call me and we can talk about the pro's and con's of both.
