One of my colleagues received one as a birthday gift from his wife. Suffice it to say we're all very jealous of him - both for owning a Vintage Vibe and for marrying such a cool woman.

How about a software instrument like Neo-Soul keys?
Or go full circle and buy a Vintage Vibe? . I have plenty of software EPs. I want something for my living room... Vintage might be the way. Can I come round and play it?

Having spent the day doing some research, I think the Vintage Vibe is just what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion!

Has anyone around here tried the Waldorf Zarenbourg thing? That would look pretty cool in the right room. But is it any good? The one video demo I've seen seemed pretty good to me.

Color suggestions. I'm going with a sparkle top because it hide scratches and swirls the best. Also 64 or 73? 64 goes A to C like a wurly. I'm thinking 64 would be good for EP and they indicated that the pickup arrangement seems to produce the best tone on the 64. http://vintagevibepiano.com/color-options/

So, for a completely ignorant folk like me, do these EPs even have any audio output? You need to mic them to amplify them? Where are the speakers?  Vintage indeed Rafa.

Line outs. I'm going to order mine witht he stereo tremolo option but one thing I really like is that it has an effects loop for pedals. Coincidentally, I've been amassing some of the coolest pedals by Effectrode and Toneczar so it will be blast sticking them in the loop.
Approximately 3 month wait, but plan on finalizing an order tomorrow. Probably going with a 64 but unsure of color yet.

LOL! Yeah, I assume color is certainly hard to pick... do you have a picture of where you would usually keep it? That may prove an invaluable hint

Green or red sparkle tops look the best to me. Green's a little more unique. Red has a richness and warmth.

By the way... Curse the few of you who told me about Vintage Vibe. It is way more than I wanted to spend, but I knew I had to have one as soon as I got to the web page. Plus I grew up in NJ, so how could I not support some jersey boys.

Oh, having just seen your room - definitely the red!
