And, as I live in Holland, and as Lindner was made originally by Rippen, I
wholeheartedly agree. Rippen sucks (they're finally and definitely broke
now) and Lindner SUCKS.
That reason only is enough to change nationality and move to another part of
the world.
the Eavestaff mini piano is enough to commit suicide or buy a ticket to the
milky way. I know a few more, but life is dreary enough........
