Subject:Re: Are there any stores >>> Venture "Epoch" - How the PRO's reviewed it

there was a lot of waffling going on, almost to be expected from guys who play real B3's for a living. I wish there was a conclusion video based on Tony's question "if you didn't have roadies which one would you use?" after all of the evaluations were finished. Tom Coster didn't like the low end on the Nord C2 but said of the Tokai "I would make a boat anchor out of this one", while acknowledging that he endorsed the Korg CX-3, but used the Nord in Europe because the CX-3 was banned because of high lead content. Whew! Booker and Chester both have NI B4 but didn't like it during the evaluation. The editor of Keyboard Mag liked the Roland VK-8 action the best but this group doesn't like it because of the double triggering, and I sold mine because of just that. At least we learned that everything sounds better through a Leslie, as if we didn't know that before watching this video for an hour.
