I'm certainly excited about the A-154 and would also purchase
a "normal" keyboard. I've played around on a Buchla Music Easel and
it's definately not a keyboard. Can someone enlighten me about the
advantages of a "touch" keyboard over a "normal" keyboard

And please-no wooden case! It's the 3rd millenium. Why are we still
packaging electronics in wood Or worse; particle board with a
picture of wood glued on it. It reminds me of the console stereo my
parents had in the early 70's-the thing looked like a coffin! Yuk!
Give me aluminium.

Cheers,

Richard.
