Does aynone know if there is a FREE keyboard magazine? - 12/23/01 11:18 AM

Hi, does anyone know if a person could receive a FREE keyboard magazine or some type of packet in the mail?

I was wondering this because I would really enjoy reading and looking at pictures of keyboards like Yamaha's PSR series, Roland, General Music, and other keyboards and synthesizers. I'm not sure if anyone sends free magazines or packets in the mail similar to what I am asking, but if anyone knows please let me know, I would really appreciate it!

Well, you all have a Merry Christmas and have a peaceful and enjoyable Holiday!

There is no financial incentive for magazine publishers to provide free magazines in the mail.

The only keyboard magazine I know of that you can get for free in the mail is the Roland User Group magazine. Obviously it only deals in Roland/Boss gear, but all the same it is worth reading for info on new Roland releases. You can apply for a free subscription.

Hi,
I have recieved the "Roland Inside" magazine
for many years, I think I have the complete
collection, and it is as Nigel says here, much
good stuff in it, and worth reading.
Not only about new releases, but also many
articles about midi, how to do things etc.
Merry Christmas

Hey Nigel,
I opened up the link to the Roland User Group magazine subscription, but the form will only accept U.S. States and Zips. How do I go about taking advantage of this offer from here in Canada?
Best regards and Merry Christmas,
Big Red

Hi Big Red
Try to send a e-mail, it might be the solution.

I get the Roland/Boss User Group magazine. I also get a very similar style magazine from Korg. It comes about 4 times a year. Naturally, based on Korg products, but sometimes interesting articles. I don't remember how I signed up for it. Maybe when I registered my Korg iS40?

Although Roland Canada are currently under construction you can try filling out their contact form and see if they send you out Roland newsletters.

Thanks everyone for the helpful responses, I really appreciate it! I'll check out all that info you gave me and see if I can find a keyboard magazine subscription for free!

Again, thanks a lot! Your replies are VERY helpful to me, and if anyone else knows anything else about free keyboard magazines, please let me know! I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas! Have a Happy New Year!
