| Been offered a G2 keyboard at 1500. They are hard to come by, don't really need. I guess if i ever wanted to sell it, is 1500 a good deal or average. |

Do it. It's so much fun, and $1500 is a good deal. I don't see many coming up these days and given that the g1 rack goes for about $1000 second hand, I think you're on to a winner. See if you can blag it for $1250. |

Honestly, best place I have ever lived (including London, NY, Canada and Switzerland).
About 87 degrees with a brezze and it's like that 10 months of year, |

| Maybe you should offer to buy it a few keys at a time in exchange for lessons. |

Any idea of the G2's condition? Assuming it's in good physical condition and perfect working condition, $1500 is a very good deal.

i dont need it
wont use it
but if it is a deal, i will pick it up.
i have a micro modular i still haven't touched. Was planning to go thru those examples i posted. That was really the only point. |

If you're not going to use it, my advice would be to pass and let somebody who will use it get a good deal. And, to clarify my earlier statement, $1500 is a good deal, but not a no-brainer deal IMO. i.e., at that price, you could easily recoup your investment, and probably make a small profit of a few hundred bucks.
Unfortunately, PrePal either doesn't include the G2, or doesn't differentiate between the G2 and G1, but this might give you some idea as to the going prices:

I'd go with the assumption that most, if not all, of the Modulars represented there were G1s.

Maybe I've gone blind, but I don't see any examples mentioned. :conf: |

ALSO, you can try out the software here WITHOUT owning a Nord G2. The audio even works which is kind of a mind-:

He said he owns a Micro. I'm pretty sure that it uses the same software as the G1/G2. (???)
Also, as I recall from trying that free version out years ago, it's a single-voice only version and highly crippled, isn't it? |

Ahh, I didn't read all of it. :)
Yeah, the demo is really limited, but still gives you an idea of what the modular can do. The G2 is a great 'intro' to modular synths at a much cheaper price than customizing your own. |
