Xio Synthesizer

I brought this little musical keyboard up with me to Alaska expecting it to be my only connection to playing something close to a piano.  Little did I know that I would become the musician for a church, so for awhile it was just gathering dust in my apartment.  Since I now have an office job it's very nice to have around!  It fits snug on my desk next to my laptop.
