Jeebus Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 http://www.clavia.se/bilder/puff_mitten.jpg This is the new teaser on the Clavia site. Looks to be a Rhodes-like product, judging by the legs. Electro 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daBowsa Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I just got the call that my Electro 2 is in. Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildbill Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 dabowsa: i think you picked a bad time to buy an electro. maybe you could stall them, cancel, or try to deal. of course, bargaining power might not be there till you know what's under that cover. i've heard it's some kind of new electro model without the piano stuff (i think). but at this point it's just a rumor. then again, newer isn't always better, it may be a year from the time it's announced till the time it's available, and 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush'.

Jeebus Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 On second thought, I don't think it's another Electro. They seem to be making a big deal of the fact that this is their "NEW" model, implying it isn't a continuation of one of their current series. That's my take, anyway.

eric Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I'm hoping it may be a hybrid Electro/Lead product. It looks wider than the current keyboards, so maybe it is an 88 note keyboard? Some kind of acoustic piano model? Originally posted by mildbill: dabowsa: i think you picked a bad time to buy an electro. maybe you could stall them, cancel, or try to deal. You should probably stick with your Electro 2 purchase. Even if this new mystery machine is an Electro 3, my guess is that it could be several months before the thing is shipping, so you could be waiting awhile. Also, the price is likely going to be higher than the Electro 2's current price. Any way you slice it, the Electro 2 is a killer machine. It would take a pretty huge improvement to make me want to completely replace my Electro 2. I cannot wait to see the new keyboard!

Jeebus Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Perhaps it's a modelled vibraphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botch. Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 My girlfriend's second cousin's old guitar teacher works for Clavia. He hinted that its a new keyboard stand.

daBowsa Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Yeah, we all know how long it can be from product announcement to actually shipping. Plus, at the price I paid for the NE2, as long as I keep the box I can probably get what I paid for it on ebay. Besides, I basically sold everything I own to afford a new S90 and NE2, so I won't be able to afford whatever is under that sheet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoLights Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey Dabowsa... I'm in the same boat (almost exactly). My Electro is coming in a week or so (to complement my S-90). What is this... a cult? Maybe Eric has something to do with it (btw, thanks, Eric for the info and buying tips). _______________________________________________ Kurzweil PC4; Yamaha P515; EV ZXA1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guestuserguestuser.com Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Originally posted by mildbill: 76 key vibraphone controller. Yes, the shape of it suggests vibraphone to me, too. I'm not sure why, exactly. Then again, those legs say Rhodes. And what's that square lump on the left-hand end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3keys Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 It's a toaster? bread box? Looks like it has more than 49 or 61 keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike g Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Man the industry has us figured out! They know we buy buy buy...they just through out a teaser and were all Jones'n to find out what it is... Were all Gear Crack heads! Give us a little taste for free and were hooked for life. Step out of the box and grow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordude Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Is it a keyboard product? It seems so flat. Maybe a modelled vibraphone ain't a bad guess at all... Or will it be a 88 keys stage piano ("Nord Grand")? I guess we'll have to wait for the Messe (or for well informed forumites). I'm very curious about the announced new sounds for the Nord Electro 2 as well. Hoping they'll offer a Dyno'd Rhodes sound. Just personal...

burningbusch Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I go with the Rhodes copy with a flat top like the Mark IIs. Which is SMART as hell. You can have two keyboards without an extra stand and tiers. I see it as Electro-like but emphasis on Rhodes and piano sounds with a weighted action. So if you're more organ oriented, go with the current Electro, otherwise this one. Nice big retro knobs on the front to control tremolo, tone, etc. Yes, we can pray for 76 keys or there abouts. Clavia seems to understand that size and weight ARE important. Only thing is, for me, I'm really digging Mr. Ray 73 and would be skeptical that their sampled Rhodes would compete. Maybe it's modeled. Could be a great controller either way. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudyS Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 but why bring out a rhodes clone that is much bigger then the electro, when the electro already has a really good rhodes sound, is small and is one hell of an organ clone?? couldn't it be a stage piano (acoustic), with a flat top, were you can put your electro??
