This is a reference entry, not a verified current-model recommendation. It is excluded from the current-model comparison.

An earlier model discussed in my existing buying articles. This reference is retained so those articles and their context are not lost.

Who I would put this on the shortlist for

A used or remaining-stock purchase may still deserve consideration, but condition, price and the exact model should be checked separately.

What to check before buying

Current retail availability was not established in this research. This record is deliberately excluded from the current-model comparison until an editor verifies it.

Availability review required. Do not label discontinued or in stock without a reliable source.

From the service side

My technician’s perspective

Ownership advice — not an exact-model repair report

Before buying, try every key at soft and firm touch, test the pedals and headphone sockets, and confirm the exact model and included accessories. This is an ownership checklist, not a claim that this model has a particular defect. For service questions, contact me with the model number and a description of the symptom.
