Just My Thaughts!...I'm just a Home Musician(Now)...I have been involved with quite a bit of outside Music Endeavors over the Years,Mostly helping others with their Music,Etc....
Personally,If I were a Working Musician and Note:INVESTING and upgrading an Keyboard or any Instrument,I would Not look at6-10 Hours or even 1day trip to example to Franks Store To Explore Several Keyboards...If You divide the Number of Keyboards into Hours, what does that come out to?....Number 1: You have One of the best people to Help You with Questions on each Keyboard...Number 2: You can Play each Keyboard Number 3:NO PRESSURE Number4:You will receive a VERY GOOD Price with GOOD service!...PS. I have not purchased a Keyboard from Frank.
I personally have spent MUCH more time on purchases like Carpet for the Home, Automobiles,etc....
As for Myself,I sometimes purchase New and Most of times purchase Pre-owned...Pre-owned gives me Keyboard purchase options.I can Have 2-3 Keyboards in My Music room Budget,etc...Plus change without so much depreciation...My Music is a Hobby for Me..
Gee...I see It's time to Go to work... More to add later Friends...Best wishes Harold
