So should you pick up the Music Alley 54 if you find one for £9?

No.

I should have bought some patch cables, or some velcro for my pedal board, or saved 9 quid towards a pedal

Hmmm... I'll see if I can salvage this

It's got a chord mode, and the sounds are very "bargain basement 1985 Casio", but the build is not to that level

A budget 1985 Casio is like a walnut wood Moog compared to this

The plastic cling-film packaging was more pleasant

I think, somehow, the full suggested price for this was £54.99
I saw some at Ryman's for £19.99
Then found this, new in box, obviously never opened, in a charity shop for £9

Maybe I can sample it...

Today in the Techno Dungeon, a really unpleasant to play keyboard, which feels so, unbelievably plastic, umm... yeah I paid £9 for this, which is £10 too much

"Affordable quality" they say. So, like, regular quality at a discount? 🤔 Just reviewed the Machenike K500. It *clicks* alright. My wallet also *clicks* (in despair). We'll see how long this "top-notch design" lasts. #budgetkeyboard #machenikek500 #techreview #gadgets
