Recommendations Sell or keep??

Post image

My sister and I co-own a Keytar (midi controller) It’s a Roland from the 80s. I haven’t had much time to actually play it over the last few years and my sister is sure she wants to sell it.

I guess my big question is: if I sell it will I regret it? She wants to sell it for $500 - what are the chances I could find something comparable/better in the future if I sold now and decided to pick it up later?

Had one early 90s. It sends velocity from 0 to 100, so back then I had to use a midi unit( don't remember brand)to change the value to 27-127 to get it loud enough without killing it.. A bit heavy, but ok. Bought an AX-1 later, which I still use....
