2683.0. "recent synthesizer catalogue ?" by PLAYER::PETIT () Fri Jul 19 1991 12:13

A friend of mine would like to buy his first synthesizer, and he's looking 
for the following :

	- a book where he could find some guidelines on what he needs to 
	  know before investing a huge amount of money, and to avoid bad
          surprises
	- a catalogue (if any) about the synthesizers available today on
	  the market, and a comparison of their most important features.
          I heard that KEYBOARD mag has produced one (Hal Leonard Publishing,
	  GPI publications), but in 1988...Does anybody know it ? Is it still
	  worthwile getting it ? Is there an update ?

Thanks in advance for any help

      The annual Keyboard Mag Buyers Guide in pretty good. It compares
    keyboard size,feel,polyphony,filtering, etc. between synths. Quotes
    only list prices.
      Contact the mag for a back issue.
