Gary,

I've been gigging with my Electro for two years. It blows away anything
else out there in what it does. The Roland stuff can't touch the Rhodes,
Wurly, Clav or organ. Some folks don't care for the acoustic pianos, but I
find them quite usable and there is apparently some great new stuff headed
our way in January in the form of a free download from Clavia. I have not
enjoyed an instrument this much since I bought my Fender Rhodes so many
years ago. If it's the elecro-mechanical vibe you're looking for, the
Electro is the keyboard you seek. Feel free to contact me privately if you
want to ask any specific questions. I don't work for Clavia, but I
certainly admire their achievement in the Electro.

Cheers, Ken Hall
