Coincidence...? I think not....
Hmm,
Maybe I wasn't clear in stating;
"
Case in point, Keyboard included the Genesys Pro S in their Arranger Keyboard article in the April 2007 issue and did a full review of the pRP700 in their March 2007 issue. Generalmusic hasn't advertised in keyboard magazine for years."
On the other hand (and so you don't think I'm picking a fight, which I am not
) I agree with you that it makes sense that a reviewer would tend to be favorably biased toward a manufacturer that advertises in his publication (and don't for a minute think consumer reports is immune from that fact), but at least in the case of Keyboard Magazine, of which this post is centered, I can say without a doubt that there is no favoritism being exhibited and I congratulate the editor for that.
Best Regards,
Dave
