Are they usually reliable? this one just sits there with a couple of old coots trying to play it.

$116 + tax every year seems a lot of money for modern electronics!

Thanks everyone

This is just a friendly reminder that the Performance Warranty on the product listed below will expire soon. You now have the option of renewing the Performance Warranty on this product by purchasing additional coverage before the expiry date.

If you are interested in renewing your coverage, please come in to any Long & McQuade store before the expiry date.
About the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
Warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer's defect. With an important purchase such as a musical instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many customers want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a free one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer's warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete "no hassle" warranty coverage within their first year. Customers interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year can purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?

Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for "heavy-use" commercial purposes will still be covered.


Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer's warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders, woodwind pads) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Accidental or cosmetic damage is not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Usually a home use keyboard can go ten or more years without needing any repairs.

The caveat is that this only applies if the unit is not abused. That means keep under a good quality dustcover when not in use, no liquids or greasy fingers anywhere near the keyboard, and keep the cat hair off of the keyboard. BTW, if you own cats or other pets you can drop the expected lifespan by 40%.

And an extended warranty will cover none of these hazards anyway.

BTW, on most electronics the 1 year manufacturer's warranty covers most manufacturing defects and insures against a DOA unit.

Usually the extended warranties are a gimmick to squeeze out more cash.

A typical keyboard repair usually won't cost much more than 2 or 3 hundred anyway.

With a 3 year warranty you end up paying for a repair you might never need.

Dump the idea of buying an SX and buy a Korg PA1000 instead (imo a better keyboard), it will probably come with a three year warranty as standard which if you horse trade with retailers you could get them to extend it for free.
