Subject:RE: Electro stacked on top of CX-3

Peter,
Your set up looks really cool, and has got me thinking.

I play a VK-7 live and was wondering about a nord for extra electric pianos
etc.

I'm curious how stable is your rig with the 2 keys stacked? is it a standard
keyboard stand you are using.......

I'm also getting jealous of all you Korg users, I'm wondering what what i'm
missing out on by comparison.....

I also have a vox connie and hammond/leslie at home, but they're
retired....unless we hit the bigtimne that is.
Cheers
jon
