Not at all a reed instrument, but I'm parking it here anyway. The GP93M Kleinanzeigen a.k.a. "Symphonie" was apparently quite a beast: a combo organ that can actually do credible organ tones AND has a built-in amplifier (useful for the home market AND onstage monitoring) AND had MIDI implementation for hooking up to other synths and devices (which is what I figure the suffix is for).
Have you ever tried to shop for a stand-alone combo organ?
Instead, the modern commercial range seems to run the gamut from "small toy keyboard" through "midsize toy keyboard" then diverges into "ful-size toy keyboard" and "studio-grade synthesis platform." The seller here has been asking $750 (shipped) for a few years, and if I were more musically active I would be circling.
