Folks I'm VERY excited. Going to Richmond VA to visit my sister and her husband next week. Well she lives 10 minutes from GuitarCenter and SamAsh!!!! Man I'm stoked! I live in West Freakin By God Virginia. You can go into a music store here buy a guitar, case of beer, and a tire iron all in the same place. I went into one not too long ago and said "synth" to the guy. His response (I kid you not guys was)... "Uhhhhh.., shit son, what the hell is a synth?"

Anyone know what the GuitarCenter and SamAsh in Richmond VA have in stock as far as keyboards?????

Just talked to the keyboard department at Sam Ash Here's a list of the boards I'll be rocking it out on.

Yamaha Motif XS
Yamaha Motif MM6 (the Mini-Mo)
The MO6/8 might be there, but I've already owned the MO8
Yamaha Tyros2
The PSR3000/1500 should be there, but I've already played and reviewed those models

Korg Tritons/TR series
Korg PA1X series
Korg PA-50

Roland Fantom Series
Roland Juno-G
Roland GW-7

They don't have a G-70
Forgot to ask about the E50/60 too

Richmond Guitar Center doesn't seem to like you pro arranger players The guy even told me for some reason Guitar Center doesn't stock many 76'ers either. They got all the synth big dogs though. Oh well, looks like Sam Ash will wet my whistle while Im in town.

I was under the impression that the MotifXS has not been released yet, are they really out?

Diki, ohhhh my friend THEY'RE OUT!!!!!!!!! There are several (actually way more than several) people with them here in the US already Yamaha brought them to the US before schedule.

One guy on the Motif forum in the USA posted pics of the FedEx guy pulling it out of the truck, in his house, box open, and on his stand

Squeak take pics for us...

I'll get some pics It's gonna be a fun trip. We're going to hit some historical parts of VA while were there. I'm a big historical nut, and I'll be visiting EVERY antique shop within a 20 mile radius

Squeak,

Good luck. The best arranger the Guitar Center in Grand Rapids stocks is the Casio WK3700. They claim they can't sell them.
