Subject:Re: Nord Electro = pro Omega

Someone sent me a E-mail regarding the GEM Pro Omega Keyboard. It was
reviewed in Keyboard Mag. Even if the sounds are good in it, it weighs 55lbs.
Now your going to need a decent case for that $3000 piece. A good case is
going to weigh 20-30 lbs depending if you put wheels on it. Now your draging
around 85 LBs. Its cumbersome in its size. Are the boys in Sweeden the only
ones that get it, that people don't want the weight problem anymore. You can
take a 61 Electro in a gig bag and put it in the upper compartment. BTW I
just received pics, of a proto of a new wood Leslie that uses a real power
amp , speakers and motors, that is about the size of a 860 Leslie. Now were
talking, the real thing for about the same price as a clone.

Best Regards,
Tony
