Looking for an invitation to try your E-80

We still haven't played or heard a Roland E-80..yet..

If you live reasonably close to Philadelphia area..and would like a couple SZ visitors ( and you have a E-80.. )..we want an invitation..

You don't have to be selling your E-80..we just need to try one...Thanks

I would also like to extend the same invitation request for the Ketron SD5 also.....anyone?

Hey guys..........Not very many E80's have been sold from what I know.I have not sold more than a few at my store. I wouldn't think you will find one to try very easily. As for the SD5, might be the same issue. Not very many sold partially because of it's price point vs features.

If you know the way to San Jose,
you can play my E 80
bebop

George a very grim report I wonder what went wrong with these models?......Its amazing that between Philly & New York City you can't find them

The SD5 is listed on the Sam Ash website. Might be in their stores...dunno.

I could save you the trip...

Play Fran's G70

Pretend that it is just a LITTLE bit better than a G70, pretend it is a few pounds heavier, pretend that it has a 61 that doesn't feel quite as good. Pretend it has a few more sounds, but nothing earth shattering, and go listen to the Roland demos...

Send me a check for half the gas money I just saved you (at $4 a gallon ) and we'll call it quits

If you're up for a road trip.. try Alto Music in Middletown, NY. They currently have the G-70, E-80, PA2x and PA800 on display, as well as an S700.

OK guys .... if we're going to NY - I'll bring the forklift to move that puppy around for ya.

Its just something to do to pass the time after breakfast & before lunch
I have to keep Fran busy & excited 24/7

If anyone in California wants to check out a Wersi Abacus Duo Pro OAS 7 in person they are more than welcome to check out mine. I'm about an hour from San Francisco, four hours from Los Angeles.

You know, I bet the manufacturers are loving this...

They are too cheap, too lazy, too broke, too stupid to get their own product out where their potential customers can see them and potentially buy them. And what do we do?

We volunteer to act as unpaid showrooms for them...

Their marketing divisions must be laughing their asses off at us!

I think any dealer that gets a sale of a product he does not stock should send a $100 check to the person that showed his customer the product he should have stocked for himself... Many other businesses reward third parties with 'finders fees'. If the arranger industry can't afford to stock their own shelves, this practice should start in THIS business also....

Low Internet prices are killing the retail music business. To many alternate purchase choices.

Donny you and Fran need to take the drive north to exit 40 on I 95 in Milford, Ct. See Frankieve!!! I made a trip this weekend to north Jersey to visit some family. On the way down I stopped to see Frank. He currently has in stock and SD5, Pa2xPro and an s900. He doesn't have an e80. After hearing Frank give a demo of some of the strong points of each board, I walked away reinforcing the fact the perfect arranger hasn't be made yet. As usual each had their strong points. ( love the latin styles on the SD5) BTW Frank has them playing thru 2 Sampson studio monitors and a Sampson sub that did the boards lots of justice!!

THIS!

If I make it to visit the three amigos later this year as a stop-off to Boston, I'll bring my SD-5. It'll be in the fall if I make it.

Russ ... you may be thinking of the 3 NJ/PA amigos, but you BETTER include a stop in RI ... I am less than 10 minutes from exit 8 off Interstate 95 in RI !!! ... 2 amigos - me and Steve - will be looking for you ...

Be GREAT, Tony. Really enjoyed the time with the members I have visited with. I'll try. The Boston trip is planned but not booked yet.We'll be bringing back engineering drawings and lots of paperwork, so I'll have room for the SD-5.


R.

Do you have an idea of the time frame?
t.

Looking at late October right now.


Russ

Russ, Ditto to what Tony said, I'm probably a 15 minute drive north from exit 8. It would be great to get together.

Man, I hope this works out. ROAD TRIP...ROAD TRIP...ROAD TRIP!

"On the road again"...Steve, do you want to be Willie or Waylon?


Be well...I'll let you know as things develop with the boston client.


Russ

Willie

I want to be "WAILIN'"
