Thank you Scott, Tapas and everyone for your kind words:

One of the key factors was, that Bobby Freeman, Mike Carollo and me,(arranger soloist with a very nice friendly non-competitive environment) that play in the SAME Senior Center Tea Dances circle, and the people that goes to dance know us very well and make us comments about each of the performers, as I said in another posting, people notice the difference when I got the T2, well, that got around, Bobby lives close to one of the stores for the company I work, well, he went to audition the T2 and found our General Manager Tim Preskins, also a very good arranger player, and he told him if he needed to know something about the T2, to talk to me.
He contacted an former executive from Technics where Bobby was an artist, and this guy put him in contact with Yamaha arranger director, Mark, I think, he got into the arrangements of the endorsement and the rest is history.
I have assisted Bobby for the T2 tour/crash course and I will see him in a few days again.
As I mention at the beginning, there is another terrific performer that use the 9000 Pro, Mike Carollo, in fact, he just purchased from me my Korg PA60, that soon I will replace with either the Ketron SD5 or the PA1X.
There are others arranger users in the Valley too, they perform in other venues or they have a duet or a variation, so here they are a few:

Bob Roppolo Hammond X66 and SD1
Phillys and Roy Caldwel SD1 with midi guitar.
Lynn Taraski midi accordion w/XD3 Ketron
Cheri Leary Midi guitar w/SD1 Ketron
Alex K with his new G 70
Nathan twins VA7
CV Kelton I30

Juan Miguel Zarate - Tyros, PA50, and any keyboard type you put in front of him.

Samuel Ramirez 2 SD1s, MS100 and Triton Classic (he likes a lot of boards, and he can play too, he caters to the Latino community).
And many others too.


Thank you again !!
