I've asked casually what the VL-1 would cost (for use with a WX-7 wind controller)
and was told a week ago that it is "on sale" for $3500.- at Synthony Music AZ
Phoenix (602)955-3590.  I believe this dealer does mail order.  I also think to
remember having read (probably in the KEYBOARD review of the VL-1) that the
intsrument comes with a breath controller and at least one foot pedal.  So much
to my contribution of the VL-1 rumors. Ask for Barry if you want to give Synthony
a call to confirm this or find out that he was joking.
