oh come on gents. Its just a disagreement over a matter of opinion. No need to lose respect for each other. Goodness we are so touchy sometimes.

For me it wasnt whether Keith
Jarret ran his fingers over the keys or not. It was the apparent genuine interst that he had in thne instrument but not just him. The Korg workstation demonstrators have also shown more than a passing interest in the sound of the Tyros and there are plenty of musicians who see the arranger as a true musical instrument. Chas is absolutely right in that it doesnt matter what his views are or anyone elses. If you can see the real value of having beautiful solo sounds at your disposal and then at the touch of a button a full band then more power to you.

We are getting hung up on what the instrument can do and completely losing sight of what we can do with the instument !
