| Does Sam Ash still have CZ-1's in stock ? I called them 2 weeks
ago, they told me they have none in stock and weren't expecting
anymore. Rouge Music in NY had a used one for $550.00.
I was at Union Music in Worcester Mass. saturday they had a used
Yamaha PF10 for $495.00. That might fit the bill. I can't think
of anything else in that price range that is touch sensitive.
The PF10 has no organ sounds.
Oh,
You might be able to pick up a Roland Juno 2 used for that price.
That's touch sensitive with all kind of sounds.
Good Luck

| Do they need a full keyboard? 60 keys is kind of a pain sometimes.

| Seems to me there are a couple of more things to consider. For
example, if the church has its own sound system, it won't be necessary
for them to have a speaker on the unit. Also, it sounds like they
don't need MIDI. As a result, it might be wise to look at the home
unit market. I have been involved with getting equipment for a
church and know that there are two things that are important: cost
and support. You can buy equipment on the used market, but make
sure there is somebody that can repair it or provide other support
if there is a problem. Normally, this means buy from the dealer
even though this may be a higher price. In the long run, this results
in better support and good relations. As to price, don't buy too
much more than you need. So, if I were looking for a full-size,
velocity-sensitive keyboard that doesn't need to have MIDI, I'd
probably head to a good music shop and check out what they have
that is used and pre-MIDI. The salesmen will probably be very helpful
because many of them have stocks of trade-ins that nobody wants.
At the same time, you can probably get some kind of guarantee for
a period of time. And, they will be more willing to provide service
if the beast should break - including a replacement keyboard while
your machine is in for repairs.

They have a sound system. MIDI isn't important.

| Oh yes, and.....
re .1 You're right, the CZ-1 is history. pf10 sounds like a good
idea.

| If they're willing to settle for less than an authentic piano sound,
why not get a used Rhodes or Yahama suitcase (eg CP-30)?
I just sold my CP-30 (in excellent condition) for $300; I have a Rhodes
that is mint and can't even get a call on it at $200. 8-( That way
the pianist still has the touch of a real piano and the amplification
abilites of electric.

| How about the low-end DX keyboards? They all have good organ sounds,
and the patch-banks could be set up to simulate various stops.
