Thanks... Barry

That was my other choice at the time, (P155), but my wife liked the Arius...So fewer than 88 keys..Lap or desktop Last edited by BarryR; 01/05/13 04:39 PM.

Cheers, James x Employed by Kawai Japan, however the opinions I express are my own. Nord Electro 3 & occasional rare groove player.
