Yamaha so3 ?

[joethebaddog]

Hello all.
If anyone out there owns or has any experience with the Yamaha so3 I would very much like to hear your opinion of it. I'm sort of a begginer on keys and I don't need some monster that's more than I can handle right now. I'll be using it to record my own stuff, which is sort of U2 meets Floyd, they pick up Bowie and then go hang out at Metallica's house. I know, no keys in Metallica, but I knew you would need to know what I was playing to offer an opinion and that's the best I could do. Really. ANYWAYS, If you folks could help out a newbie it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Joe

I worked in a keyboard department of a small music shoppe once upon a time, and if the S03 had been available at today's price back then they would've flown out the door so fast that we'd have needed a couple of boat anchors to hold down our floor model.

It sounds great, is well built by current keyboard standards, has good effects and is easy to get around on. What more could you ask for?
