Ask yourself why do you upgrade from a TOTL keyboard last year to a TOTL keyboard this year ? I gaurantee it has nothing to do with the music you are making or could make or probably will ever make!

I'm not going to preach to anyone about how they spend their money. Its cool whatever you do with it. But i agree with CGiles. Its more about having excess cash than passion for music. Its just adult toys for alot of people.

Back to the original thread. I have never bought an instrument that i did not intend to keep or actual did not keep for several years. The best purchase i have made so far in anything was the PA1X which i have had for about 2.5 years.It continues to amaze me and i know i have prmised to post some stuff up in here and i will. I just want to see if the civility will hold.

Before that it was the yamaha PSR8000 which i had for about 4-5 years and now is being used to teach my nieces and nephews. That thing never let me down and still hols all the samples on it that i created nearly 8-9 years ago. I have never even changed the internal battery !

Before that it was the awesome Technics KN1000 Which is a better keyboard in terms of performance features, ease of use and adaptability today than some of its more technnologically advanced competitors. I gave it to my brother who used it to write various Gospel tracks as a profession, then passed down to my nephew who used it for 3 years before blowing the speakers !!

Thats it.

If i had the money would i have gone the gear lust route ???? Very likely !!!!

But in many ways i am glad i didnt.

Merry christmas everyone !
