Item is highly breakable. Unit has plastic anchors which are used to hold the two sides together and as such most become detached or break-off which caused the two sides to come apart! In addition, parts for this item are not available and or have become discontinued by the Roland Mfg.
Used a Roland AX7 midi controller for over 10 years. Upgraded to the AX-Synth 6 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Great tone banks and an intuitive instrument, easy to become familiar with.
