Unfortunately, I picked a less than optimum time to stop at DanO's a couple of weeks ago when I was in Baltimore. DanO was alreaady gone for the day ( it was late ), and he had no SD1's on display. It was still a good experience though, because his employee was knowledgeable, and had some good things to say about DanO and arrangers.

I'm going back this summer with the family. Baltimore is the only major city on the east coast North of the Carolinas that we haven't explored ( museums, restaraunts ..etc ). The downtown seemed like a really interesting place. I will contact Dan before we go to ensure that he'll be there when I come by, and with luck he'll have a few arrangers that I haven't tried before.

Our local store in Middletown, NY is very cool too. They do display all of the major Yamaha arrangers as well as the Casio line. They even had a PA80 a while back, but they do not generally carry the Korg or higher end Roland arrangers. Chris, the keyboard manager, is the class of Alto Music. Great guy to talk to, knowledgeable, very friendly, never condescending. If we had the time, I'd want to hang out with him, maybe do a music project.
