As most of you know, I've been semi-advertising my G-70. I've decided to go a different route, so I've been looking at BK7m and somewhat BK5 to maybe add to my Hammond XK-1. Anyway, the other day I came across a BK5 at a very good price, so I bought it.

Now for sure I have to sell the G70, but I've been lazy and haven't even taken good pictures of it yet. But as luck would have it, a fellow SZer emailed me today and showed interest. In a matter of a few emails we made the deal. How coincidental or fortunate or ESPish for me. Ain't Synth Zone grand!

I have even bought from a Synth Zone member myself. I just feel more comfortable with someone I know from our community here than an anonymous seller on eBay.

I have bought and sold keyboards to SZ members, and I must say it feels good to be able to be trusted and to trust the other party. I have always been able to send the item out without making him pay up first.

Remember the old days when your word was your bond? I still operate that way, but I only trust certain people to do the same.

I've done quite a number of deals here, including DNJ, Gary, Russ, Uncle Dave, Frank (before and after he was a dealer), Hammer, Fran, of course SemiLive, Tom C., Diki, Scott Yee, Zuki, George, AJ, Rikki, surely a Tony or two, and several others that I can't think of right this second.
One of them ripped me off, but I'm not saying which one.
(That was a joke!!)

Cass... Shame you couldn't wait on those lower end BK's and took a good listen to the BK-9. The Hammond in it compares VERY well to a lot of clonewheels, and you might have found one of those could replace the need for two keyboards.

BK-5 arrived today. G-70 leaves Monday. Yeah!

Diki, I considered waiting for a BK-9, but the 5 deal was too good to pass up. Who knows what might happen in the next six months. I don't know if I'm going to use the XK1 with the BK5; why carry two keyboards for a one hour gig. As much as I've told myself the XK1 is here to stay, it's not being used and there are other things I could use instead, if needed...

It (the XK-1) has probably held its value fairly well... the kids are bigtime into the Nords and other clonewheels.

Maybe if you get a chance to audition the BK-9, sell the BK-5 AND the XK-1 and that should put you into a BK-9 fairly easily...

And don't forget, I'm still toting the s910 around right now, and that still fetches a good penny. As I get to spend more time with the BK-5, I'm hoping to make it my NH board. It's even lighter than I expected and the sounds are great. Not too pleased with having to use the dial and an enter button, but I hope to get past that nuisance.
