The only new keyboard products shown at NAMM this year are not arranger keyboards. Some new HP pianos ranging from $3,000.00 retail to $5,900 retail, a new VR700 $2,379.00 retail stage keyboard and that's it! Sorry for the bad news for those expecting to see a new high end (or any range) arranger.

Can someone translate into English what this Utube video is talking about.

I have to brush up on my italian but it seems to be some labor dispute and layoffs.

They are saying all the arranger musicians of SZ were really expecting a high end replacement for the G70.............but this crazy labor dispute has put production on hold indefinitely

Before you all start speculating about Roland going bankrupt: This news story is about the layoff of 50 of the 210 workers at Roland Europe. Roland is moving part of its production to China, and thus out of Italy.

Just Google a little, find some Italian newspapers, use Google translation and there you have it.

Happy owner of a Roland E-80 V2

that's great

we're gonna get some Kick @ss chinese styles

I wasn't speculating that Roland wasn't going out of business. I listened to video and my understanding was were some sort of labor dispute and 40-50 layoffs. Portuguese isn't that far off from italian, you can pick up most of the words.

mc,

achas que o quatro ponto zero vai fazer-te comprar o AUDYA?
