Richard,
thanks for the link. I had found other options too.
Main problem(s) are the cost and wrong country. As I already noted only paid £40 for the instrument …
I will continue to practice, practice, practice, although my time is limited. I had considered getting a bass recorder, but, tempting as it is, I am stymied by cost.
I have already fallen into the trap of paying too much for guitars, so loathe to repeat that mistake … I have 12 of them – and of course can only play one at time! Last one I bought … paid more for the case!
I have some keys from a Yamaha bass on the way, will see what I can do … and post note(s) here.
The great thing about prototypes (see previous post) is that they look promising but NEVER work. My prototype key is way too big!
