I think you need to use spell check and paragraphs. Just a friendly tip from The Grammar Wizard. ;)
I also think you've learned your lesson. Sorry to hear about your loss. :-\

We are yet praying for your deliverance. Until then, try anger management. ;) :D

OOOOOOK. at the quote :(.. claim down.....But yea... I rather not let others use my instrument but you did a positive thing by letting the person use it but you got a negative in return. Yea you learnt ur lesson this time. But you will know what to do next time.
May god bless you and you get your keyboard fixed in return

Its probably too early now but you should never let your experience with one irresponsible person hinder your ability to trust the many responsible musicians let alone a friend besides the lord will bless you for your acts of kindness expecially for his service. But my brother be angry but sin not and remember to judge each individual on their own merit.Some you can trust some you can't.

please do, you have to understand though im just using his situation its really not the fact that the keyboard is broke cuz i know things happen and you take a chance when you loan you things out and it couldve happened to me. its the fact that his "so-called friend" didnt respect him enough to say something to him he just dropped it off knowing that he needed to use it at church and brought it to the church like everyhting was ok.
hey ojkid if you need another board holla at me im selling my motif6
-
Nope Nope NOpe...... Uh Uh....
I would not let no one use Nuthing Of mine, That's expensive... ESPECIALLY MUsicall Stuff, Or Instruments, Instrument accessories and Etc.
Cuz If they Break sumthin,They might think "well Since He had money to buy it, He got money to fix it..." SOME people are like that.
BUt no.... NO borrowing, If they DO borrow it, I would give a nice Fee to borrowing it. If its mine, and I use it for Church, I NEVER leave it there either.... I bring it, use it, tell everyone to not touch it, it's expsensive,and take it RIght Back home, where IT's safe.

See if you can have you keyboard serviced, and then try to compromise with him about making payments on it getting serviced.
I'm sorry you have to go through this bra. Sometimes we just have to say no even if it hurts.

I use to be the type to let people use my stuff, but I've heard some bad stories on LGM that makes me want to rethink this.

it just depends on who it is and i have had cats use my things and something bad happened but the difference they said something to me and we were able to have work out for all sides

Letting someone borrow my keyboard is like letting them borrow my underwear. It aint gonna happen. But all jokes aside, if it really comes down to it and they need to borrow, i do it professional style, they would have to sign a written agreement regarding any damages that they will be responsible to repair. If you ever rented a U-haul truck you would have to first write down any problems or damages on the truck before you rent it, then when returned they will inspect it to see if any new damages has occured. That way, you can still do the christian thang but yet have some security. Depending on the value of the keyboard i would probably as them to give a security depost of at leat 5-10% of the value of the board, so if your keyboard costs $2000.00 then they need to give you a security deposit of at least $100-200...

You wanna borrow my keyboard? Give 100 dollars. If I find a little scratch on it, I keep the money. 8)

WOW...i mean, WOW......
me and dude woulda had words.....
i've only done that for few people, i've known them for YEEEEEEEARS, and thats when its not my main axe.(spare M1)
I do pray it gets resolved, nothing worse than being wronged by one in the body. Bad Biznezz...
But um, ya might need ta open up one of these........

Learned my lesson as well. We were having an aniversary service. I though I would bring my new Kurzweil PC2X, so I did. Went and set it up the night before. Showed up the next morning, the pastor meets me at the door and tells me he was moving it and dropped it. Broke 3 keys, and severed the Sustain Pedal. Wouldn't come on either.
I tried getting it fixed numerous times, but at the time Kurzweil was moving there operations. It took the Pastor one complete year before he did anything about it. I had to make him at that. I told him I was odering a new keyboard and the church would have to reimburse me for it.
I know that sounds mean of me, but I did what I had to do. I worked hard to get the money to even by the Kurzweil. It was my baby, however I have a new baby now - A Korg Triton LE 88.
Here's a word to the wise. NEVER take your stuff any where. Leave it at home and baby it, baby it, baby it. Let someone else supply the music.
-
you are a good brother, because I would have never allowed anyone to take my board without me going along with it, more or less keep it for 2 seperate gigs. Sharing what you're bless to have is a good thing, but when it comes to something that could effect your duties in the church or your work for the Lord, you really have to be careful.

lol, man im trying to get rid of this motif6, i have no desire for a keyboard but im also selling my tobias bass so i can get another bass i got my eye on

Tell him you need him to get it repaired. Give him a deadline to have it in the shop. Put it in writing somehow even email then take his butt to small claims court. Sounds like your friend needs only to play weighted keyboards. I never broke a key and my Korg boards go all the way back to the DW 6000.
you can forgive him but still SUE Him

too much judge mathis

?/? Well first let me say that not everybody who can press some keys are musicians.This guy does not have any respect for you nor your Board.lets say mistakes do happen,but he should have some principle in him to call you right away ,so you both can work out away to replace those broken key.See its a new board you should be able to send back to the dealer to repair (on his charge of course) Thank God for your spirit of humility. sorry about your board . PS next time go with your board or say no!
-
First off Im sorry about your board. Im more like the dude you are speaking kinda. My wife purchased a board for me but I sent it back because I was not satisfied with the limited sounds. I sat out couple Sundays. This young lady in the church asked me if I would like to play her keyboard until i get another one. I was very hesitant about this because I'm heavy handed and her keys are light with touch response. On paper I reassured her i would repair any damages that were done while its in my possession. Lesson here is...Does not matter how much the board cost put it on paper. When people wanna use your board, pull the contract out, explain it to them, have them sign it if they agree to it and call it a day.
Be Blessed and Stay Encouraged.

:o I know the feelin' lockslie1 my wife got me a Motif. But sir, I am sorry you had to deal with this type of situation. But now you can look at it as you passing your test. God must have something bigger in store for you. This test might have been giving to you, to see how you would handle yourself and the things he has blessed you with. 8)

WHAT! Call me!

Man, I cringed reading your story! I learned that same lesson years ago. A now very popular and successful jazz musician "borrowed" my axe a while back when he was on his way up. He was in a tight spot and I didn't want to see him miss his gig. Besides, this guy treated his own instrument like it was his child, so why would I worry, right? This guy absolutely WRECKED my axe! I mean, it was garbage when I got it back from him. He went ahead and bought it from me, but I couldn't believe he would be so careless. Lesson learned - If it puts food on the table don't lend it to ANYONE! Not even your mama! I certainly couldn't see him lending me one of his "kids" today!
