Most full-fledged synths (i.e. with onboard sound) are usually quite expensive, compared to dedicated MIDI-controllers (i.e. no onboard sound, controller-only). Most start at prices (new, not used) around $300-400 USD and that is usually with only 1-4 octaves, on average. The price increases when more keys are added. I don't know where you live, but in the U.S. I buy stuff at Musicians Friend. Here is a sorted view (by price) of the synths available at this store... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=key/search?sc=price&so=asc&c=4694 I also subscribe to Keyboard magazine and they have nice reviews on new stuff. For the Juno D you are asking about, here is a report they did on it... http://www.keyboardmag.com/story.asp?sectioncode=30&storycode=5148 You've got 2 other alternatives... 1. Find electronic pianos or portable home keyboards 2. Use a MIDI-controller with a synthbox or connected to your PC using softsynths. EDIT: Make it 3 alternatives... 3. Find a used synth (eBay, locally, etc.).

A local music store has the Juno D for � 535,- (not used) That's a nice price, and the Juno D demos i've heard sound pretty good, so i'll definatly keep this synth in mind.
