Subject:Re: left hand bass range

Jarrell,

A local music store owner here in Kingston was just telling me about an
Asian made electric piano which he just discovered and it's keyboard is
exactly what you wish for - low A to high C. Apparently it has pretty good
acoustic piano sounds and has piano type keys. He says the retail will be
about $600 US. I haven't seen it or played it yet, but if you're interested
I'll let you know when I know more.

Cheers, Ken
