From the Tendon Levey website:

”After months of mourning the loss of my ESQ-1 I was desperate for a keyboard and in the month of November 2009 I spotted an ad posted for a cheap Casio WK-1630 at the college down the street. They were only charging about $100-$150 so I decided to go for it. The sound quality was rather poor compared to what I was used to, though I really didn’t care about any of that at the time. I was just thrilled to have a keyboard again and I found ways of making it work with my music. I continued to use it regularly until I acquired my Korg MicroSampler a year later, at which point I switched to using VST instruments.”
