Looking to buy a DX100 really soon and am interested if someone out there has one in working order that they wish to part with. I am also interested in the possibility of buying one mail order. Does anyone have any experience in this and possibly some addresses or phone numbers? Thanks, Michael Hicks Phone: Home (602)882-4227 Work " 621-2117 but email is best

I believe that a used DX100 would cost about $250-$300. I also think that you should consider some of the newer (yet slightly more expensive) keyboards on the market now. Kawai has a good, relatively inexpensive line ($500 starting price - pretty good for what it does!), as do other companies. I'm not so sure that a DX100 would be worth the money unless you don't think that you will ever want to upgrade your MIDI setup. Might a tone generator work in your situation? Are you sure you want small-size keys (extremely difficult to play on)? No velocity or aftertouch? The DX100's are okay, but if you spend just a few hundred (just - Hah! - I know - easier said than done) more, you might be much happier in the long run. A keyboard that has more features, even if you sacrifice sound for it, might be better for a starting `board. You might want the `board as a good MIDI controller later - tone generators are relatively inexpensive and more flexible MIDI-wise. Michael Smith @ PSU
