"Korg Nautilus 88 keyboard"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I seen the reviews on you tube but I received my keyboard from zZounds and no matter what I do every time I try to turn this keyboard on it repeats the same message system startup failed please turn Nautilus off and then turn it back on to unplug and USB. There is no USB hooked anywhere it's plugged into a wall socket by itself. And I have read the manual and watch all of the you reviews I came to one conclusion this keyboard needs to go too a shop to fixed and it came brand new from the box shipped to me 1 day ago..I just want it to work im not excited about boxing it up and sending it back..I called a repair shop locally im thinking about paying for my new keyboard to be repaired because it's got some issues apparently I'm not the only one to have these issues with this Nautilus keyboard. So far I cannot give a great review I just want the opportunity to play the keyboard but it refuses to startup just to play im not happy right now.
