I had a Kawai K4 ... I could choose between a Korg M1 and the K4, but since I couldn't afford the M1 and I really didn't know much about synths I bought the K4. What a mistake ....

Well it's not really bad, but it stands no chance at all against the M1. I sold it (traded to a N264).

My first keyboard was a Yamaha Sh101 (child keyboard) but before I had the Kawai K4 I had two organs. One is a Farfisa Lido ... if somebody wants to pick it up ... it's free (one pedal is broken but can be fixed).

OMG!

It was a Crumar doing only Brass sound. Somewhere in the '80.

It was so insignificant that I can't even find a picture of it on the net.

Roland Alpha Juno 2. I still have it, and sometimes use it as a controller.

Roland Jupiter 6 around 1983 or 1984

Maybe not quite as good as the Jupiter 8 but nevertheless now a classic!

Completeley regret selling it in the early 90's Crying or Very sad

Would now be actually worth twice what I paid for it. (But not in real terms!)

You can say that, still don't understand the thing completely LOL
I must say, it's a great synth, but it's a pain to get things working when connected to PC..

I remember so vividly when it first came out. Going to Yamaha shows in my mid teen and drooling over this unit.

Man time flies.

I saw a few days ago a Yamaha DX7 for sale (250 euro), but since I will buy a Kronos next year I get one builtin for free (well the modeled version).
