I am a mediocre musician on my best day who has been playing stringed instruments for about 65 years now. I also play keyboards, tho not the piano which, imho, is a different instrument entirely. The AX-Edge is not one of my favorite instruments tho. I bought it on a whim thinking I’d give it a go and see what all the buzz was about. Back in the 80s and early part of the 90s, it seemed like everybody had one. After the initial excitement of discovering a new instrument wore off, it kind of goes south from there. The angle at which you have to strike the keys is very different than the angle of my normal keyboards/controllers which doesn’t seem like much but it gives me fits. Overall, it wasn’t worth the $400 I paid for it, tho I could probably turn it on CL for closer to the original price. The equipment itself is quite capable, it’s just one of those oddities I thought would be cool to learn, but in retrospect, $400 could have been better spent elsewhere.
