13...you're so right, I don't quite travel with chords, but I know how to find em.  I was recently attending the visitation and funeral service for the relative of a friend.  This particular church has musicians on staff, but they were not scheduled to arrive until the actual homegoing service started.  The family asked me to play during the visitation, but the power chord was missing fromt the Motif X7.  Being a motif owner, I know that except for Kurzweil, the major keyboards use the standard power chord for typewriters, computers etc.....so i went to their utility area, and robbed one to play in the service.  When the staff musicians arrived, of course we exhanged pleasantries, and of course when I tried to yield my seat at the board he gave the old typical "..NAW STAY DOC, YOU GOT IT, YOU GOT IT".......I did however explain to him, what  I did, and let him know that I was not trying to bogart his gear, and was just honoring the request of the family.  He did not mind, or make a fuss as it was a musician that I knew.

hehehe--musicians with "tricks" under their sleeves.. 8)
You sure got it mate ;D

Absolutely not. I forgot who said it but yes some people think the instruments are open to the public and after the service they can just do whatever. I've seen drum heads busted and keys busted and all that mess. I don't play that. The minute that service ends, I put my baby back in the bag and put the church's board (which isn't worth nothing) back on the stand.

Yeah we also lend our church to another church. They used to bring their own equipment, then they stopped once they saw we had a Fantom X6 and the MO8. They are a Spanish church and they play really uptempo latin music...i am worried for the boards.

Cool..I'd go to some services to accustom my ear to the music 8)

Uptempo muisc doesn't necessarily mean bashing on the keys.but yeah, most uptempo music makes players want to imitate the rhythm with their hands :D but 1 can train themselves not to bash unreasonably on the board..One of our boards has been bashed for over 10 years..it's still going after a few servicings..
But better to not just lend out boards--some people are just careless..

Why the heck would someone steal a slider?  :-\ ?/?
If you got a motif (which is a popular board if you didnt know) and your slider is missing; the only place to get another slider immediately is, another motif. Problem solved.

True, true. ;D :D

But it takes a lot to pull off those sliders. They don't come loose easily. The person must have had time alone when the church was empty.  :-\

That's cold, cause I think you can order those parts.  It's trifling to take someone else's.  Even though it might take a while to get the new part.
