I've read this post with a lot of interest, just as I have read the tyros posts and those on other specific keyboards. Personally, I would never buy a keyboard, regardless of price, unless I could physically touch, feel, play and smell the keys--it's that simple. I've heard more keyboard hype over the past decade than I would have ever believed possible, and everyone that manufacturs a keyboard claims theirs is the best sounding board on the market. This, unfortunetely, is quite subjective, therefore, it's a claim that must be evaluated by the person actually touching the keys and listening to what's coming out of the headphones or speakers.

Paul, I've listened to the WAV/style files on the site, they sound just fine, but unless I can hear them in person, with my puggy little fingers touching the keys, I cannot evaluate the keyboard. Is there any U.S. dealer in the mid-Atlantic region--someone within 250 miles of Baltimore? If so, I'll be more than happy to drive there this week and do my thing.

Let me know,

Gary
