Where can I find a clean KX88?
I have one, I bought it new, it was unwrapped in my (no smoking) house
and has never "gigged out" or left the living room for any reason. I have cleaned the keys and outer case with Windex from time to time, I typically vacuum between the keys with a small nozzle on a shop vac hose before any Windex treatment. BTW, wherever you get one from, spray the Windex onto a clean lint free cloth and wipe the keys with that, do not spray the keys directly. The only issue someone with allergies MIGHT have is the fact that I have a dog, specifically a Yellow Lab. I know little to nothing about allergies to animals, other than that I don't seem to be allergic to anything very much. No cats, no other animals - I have contact with horses, but that is several miles away from here and I have never played with dirty hands (or clothing). With respect to compatibility, the KX-88 and corresponding 76 were designed and produced just before the GM (general midi) standard was introduced. There were SIGNIFICANT incompatibilities between equipment in those days, though I cannot quote anything specific from memory. I accept the Yamaha statement about compatibility between the KX-nn and TG-nn, although maybe they don't remember how & why either, so I doubt that they will give specifics (-: It is at least POSSIBLE that there is a pre/post GM midi wall across which stuff MIGHT work well, somewhat, or not at all, in any case I suspect that it is iffy/maybe at best. I think the last time I looked a moderately used (gigged) kx-88 was being offered for $1500, I have no idea if it actually went for less. I think I would worry as much about smoke particles as "organics" but you know your allergy situation better than I do. |
