Thanks my friends for the update info here.
I was told by the Roland District Sales Manager that did the 3 hour demo for me that Some of the Technics Engineers were involved in this keyboard. He told me the names but that was way last Sunday. You don't think I would remember it that long
I have been in touch with a few people that have the board and they are pleased with it. That is hopeful.
Best to all,
Bebop

Chris Halon, formerly with Technics as a clincian and possibly other titles now works for Roland and I would assume has alot of impact on what goes into and how the Roland E series keyboards are designed and programmed.

How come you sold your E-80 Craig?

I know you got the "new biggy", but I thought you liked the E-80.

As a T2 owner I'm curious, too.

Hi Donny I am a T2 man, that's not going anywhere (well not until the T3).

I visited a music shop as you do and I played on some of their digital pianos. One of them I liked that much, I decided that the only way I could afford it was to say bye bye to the E80 and pay the difference.
It will be nice to have a piano again in the living room and this one has a CDRW built in and multi track sequencer so I can make my own CD's directly without having to turn the PC on
