Fran, if you feel like it, could you email me? I need advice of Roland experts. As far as my opinion of Yamaha, it's MY opinion only, and MY keyboard choice. Changing brands after 30 plus years is a big step for me, a considerable learning curve and a sizable investment (three keyboards-$4000.00 plus dollars).

My good friend Dave plays a PSR 3000 and is happy with it. Good for him. I bought one, hated it and gave it to my granddaughter. Good for me!

I would miss your "upfront" opinions if they copmpletely disappeared. Everyone should feel free to have and share them, as long as they are well articulated and not intentionally abrasive.

Sharing opinions is, in good part, the value of this forum.

I suspected that, in the past, you intentionally stirred up a little "dust" but Dave says, and I believe, it was all in fun.

So, come on "Roland man"..."spill the beans".

Better yet, call me (859-253-0390, or cell-948-4687). After all, you never properly thanked me for that fine "Kentucky nugget" I so thoughtfully sent you!
