It puzzles me also that other countries don't have these Keyboard Festivals because looking at it from a manufactures and dealers business point of view. Where else can you have a captive audience of mature financially viable people locked into a friendly selling environment for 7 full days.
Believe me there is a lot of product sold during the week, new & used. Uncle Dave would be in his element...Ha!!!
18 months ago when I owned a Korg i30 I mentioned all the above to the Korg MD, they never attended because they thought it wasn't for them. However the following Festival Korg did attend and they have been at every Festival since sell product.
