AJ,

Although I don't know much about Ketron products I applaud you for your dedication and unyielding hard work getting your keyboards out there and improving upon your exposure. I wish you much luck and success.

I'm in the southern New York/Northern New Jersey market if you are ever in the area. Philadelphia is going to be over 4 hours for me so I'm not THAT interested in seeing a Ketron product.

I do have a BIG suggestion for you. Since most of us "Keyboard Geeks" are also Internet Surfers, I think you can do a much better job of putting your website together to expose the Ketron line of products. (I'm a web design by trade so I know what I'm talking about. If you want to talk to me about this send me a note).

One of the key elements I used when purchasing my Yamaha Tyros was seeing so many video's, Demo's, and listening to MP3's and reading the documentation all ON-LINE without leaving my livingroom/office.

In my experience, Once I check out the initial merits of the board's features I make up my mind about 80-90% that I want it just by reviewing it's features, hearing it's demo's and seeing the videos. The final 20-10% of my decision is made actually playing the board and that will either put me over the top or make me walk away.

Things I look for when playing a board are in order of importance; Key feel, ergonomics, visual displays, Operating system, and re-affirmation of the sound demo's which I already listend to on-line.

I hope this helps give you some insight into my Keyboard consumerism habits.

Al
