MrSpliff Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Everyone, I found a Roland e35 series keyboard on sale via Craigslist. My question is, is it considered vintage and worth buying? (Price is $119). I've tried to find information on it and haven't been able to find much about that specific model other than the fact that it came out in '93 or '94. Thanks for your thoughts.

Justin Havu Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Not really highly collectible, IMHO, but if you're looking for a practice keyboard with a few sounds to play around with, it's a good buy. CLONK for specifications.

MrSpliff Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thank you. Another option I have is a Casio WK-500 with a keyboard stand included for $150. Since the Roland isn't relly a good vintage keyboard I assume the Casio is a better deal? I used to play keyboard years ago and I want to pick it up again. I was looking for something used yet decent to tide me over until theBehringer Motor 61 , or the Alesis VI61 come out. I thought if I bought a standalone keyboard I'd have something I could still have a use for once I get a midi controller board. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Havu Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 The WK will be a better deal--the sound is better, plus you'll have more playing room with an extra octave-and-a-half of keys.

No. Now this is a vintage Roland: http://www.dannychesnut.com/Music/Roland/Jupiter8/jup8.jpg When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray.

JeffLearman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah, if you see either of those for $119, buy first, ask questions later. But then you'll probably have paid for a picture, or an empty box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpliff Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks guys, glad there's a place I can go to talk to those that know! I'm just antsy to get a keyboard again and to start kicking it! Side note-I tried guitar, acoustic and electric. The problem is that most of the music I listen to has more keyboard and synth use rather than any type of guitar. I wish I still had my M-Audio Pro-Keys keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Havu Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Funny, that System-700 controller reminds me of the newer A-series or the RD-64.
