Great day today, I was able to sell my PA800 to a local buyer. This is the 3rd board I've sold thru Craig's list. Nice clean sales, cash transactions and no shipping charges.

After selling the Pa800 headed 2 hours south and picked up my PA2xPro today from Frankieve. While there got to compare the PA500, PA800 and a PA50. And of course the usual good service and support from Frank.

Got home with it at 3 PM and I have been playing it since then. It's about 10 PM it's time to call it a day Well maybe in an hour or so.

The PA2Xpro is the closest thing to the ideal board for me. I'll be holding onto this one for a while 76, keys and an action that's in the class of the G70. It's a well built great looking board with nice solid keys, not synth keys. 39 pounds isn't bad either very managable.

The photos of this board on the Korgpa.com site do not do it justice, it's much better looking that what you view on the Korg site.

Great news on the new and old Enjoy yourself these days. My brother helped me a lot with the 800 tonight and I want to thank all of you who help (and continue to do so - so much to learn).

Rikki - yep, must have been some of Donny's I erased. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

I am enjoying the board and will eventually replace the 900.

The harmonizer is FABULOUS - we had a blast with it tonight and it works like a charm...

Steve,
congratulations! You will love your PA2X Pro, no doubt about it. I love the action as well: for sheer piano playing it's even better than the G-70

Hi Stephen
I am happy for you. That is the board I really wanted, but in August I had a long wait ahead of me. I love my PA800 anyway.

Congratulations Steve.

I know you did the right thing. The Pa2X is a wonderful keyboard. The key feel alone makes it worth the money, and a bonus of some very helpful keys!

Best wishes

Graham

Gary the HD is 40 gigs, not sure whether it can be upgraded by the user. 40 gigs should be plenty of space for most users?

Rikki and Zuki thanks. Zuki glad you're enjoying the PA800.

Dreamer, the action is just fantastic. I think you have a good point for sheer piano playing. I thought it was a bit better than the G70 myself. I just didn't want to provoke a mine is better than your's thread

Bernie, my thought was to get the PA2xPro originally but got anxious and went with the PA800. After reading and talking to Frank about the action of the 2xPro I decided to it was worth the upgrade.


Graham you hit the nail on the head with the feel and extra keys. Good luck with yours I know this morning you're using it at church. I'll be anxious to hear your report.
