Ian,
Sorry to hear your dealer there does not have the Korgs...you could try a few just for fun...I know you are a Yamaha guy (That's great!) so you probably would never buy one, but it would be fun for you to have the opportunity to play them. They do have some very nice sounds and features.

My Dealer here has LOTS of Korgs...every model and he tells me he sells TONS of them...there going somewhere? Not overseas either.

Frank at audiowerks sell lots of them too.
Even though I suspect the large volumes go to other than N. America.

I don't care who sells the most...I just want a perfect one for ME someday...don't care who makes it. It's not an ego trip...it's supposed to be music! :-)

For now, we do have some great machines to choose from! I remember back in the Yamaha electone (HS-8T)days I had to actually change a cartridge to change out a different AWM voice! Wow, we've come a long way from that.
