Have you played on a ZeuS, LS? I'm desperate to know something about them. I ask, and everybody shuts down. Any features you thought were cool?

I have played a ZeuS, it was their "intermediate" alto. Not bad, just very clunky keywork, horrible action, and very out of tune.

I'm not trying to go it against what you're saying, but how does " very clunky keywork, horrible action, and the fact that it's very out of tune" make it not bad? |
