Going to enlighten the folk a bit: MZ-X500/300 just like Casio CTK7200 will never or any more be produced and also smth alike either, just like Roland VR09, Yamaha Motif XF6, etc., too.
These ones were famous for their d r a w b a r s simulating the Hammond organ along with its synthesis from simple tones known unmistakably by its sound.
These modern times require simplification and reduction in the understanding of the real arts within the postmodern times now:

Thus, Cory Henry shows up here that there will be no massive Hammond-like sounds or those made by orchestras set of 100 strings from the modern times as those from the Hollywood studios known in the 50's to the 60's. However, some 4 schoolboys with guitars like the Beatles could dismiss all the orchestras in the world and close many opera houses. As playing 4 guitars is more simple than playing 100 violins in an orchestra. Now anyone from the street might play for you, not only professionals.
Therefore, musical instruments should not be so complicated as ever before. The matter is just to play, nothing else. No matter what and how. Like in Woodstock.
Just compare it to any other Cory Henry's videos on youtube.com.
All what you can do now is to find a granny 'next door' who still has MZ-X500/300 thus willing to sell it to you.
Or alternatively to find a d r a w b a r synthesizer from another manufacturer which would produce the Hollywood Big Sound known from the modern times.
Happy successful searching.
PS. I have bought one MZ-X500 from a granny 'next door', now looking for a next one, say, MZ-X300 to put it under the first to play them both at once. I love Casio instruments like Cory Henry does. To have 2 instruments from Casio is completely OK.
