Nice response Uncle Dave. I join you in the quest not only to get the most out of our instruments but to be the musician that is the least technophobic in my area. And I still haven't found my perfect keyboard either. However, back to the roiginal topic of this post, Electronic Musician has posted the full text review of the Yamaha 9000 Pro online here: http://industryclick.com/magazinearticle...46652&siteid=15

Hey, this review isn't sooo bad... it's not bad at all in fact. Oh sure there's a tiny taste of arranger-snobbery in it, but very tiny. Beats the review that Keyboard magazine did. In fact, and I'll be honest here, I don't like the Live! Grand piano sound on the Yamaha 9000 whereas the reviewer for EM gushed over it. Read for yourself...
