[Fran, I enjoyed your report, you did not leave out too much.

For the last eight to ten years I wanted no other keyboard but my Technics, from KN2000 to the KN7000. I felt there was no comparison in sound, sequencer, or ability to work live with it on stage. I bought a Tyros out of curiosity, sold it, it did not do the job. I bought a second Tyros, tried again, sold it too, it did not do the job.

With the end of Technics I knew I had to make a move. I made a full commitment, sold the KN7 and bought a Tyros 2. With this dedication I found I can, as a professional do a better job with the Tyros 2, in almost every aspect of performing.

What I am saying is until a full commitment is made over a period of time – until your mind set begins to get a new view --- thinking like the new keyboard, you will stay with your original views.

I am not saying that the G1000 does not make it. I believe if I were using the keyboard for as long as you have and performed as you do, with the mind set of the G1000, I too would love it.

Each manufacturer puts a great deal of time into their design of their keyboard trying to give us the best. Until the tool is mastered you do not know the keyboard – you will use as you do your old keyboard.

What I have found through the years if it is new sound system, a new guitar or a new keyboard, you may play it at home or in a store and not find the correct answer. But---- as soon as I play it on the job I have my answer within minutes. Amen!

Only my opinion, John C.
