Another MDF-2 Up for Sale

[David Small <dsmall@uh.edu>]

Group: I agree about the usefulness of the Yamaha MDF-2. I've had one
for about four years and used it up until I switched from sequencing to an
entirely live presentation. Hate to see it gather dust, so I am putting 
mine
up for sale too, along with manual and power supply, for the ridiculously
low price of $125 plus shipping. BTW, it does have tempo control.

Questions welcome. Thank you.
