I'm not sure about the Kronos, but you could use the lowest quality video recorder while jumping up and down on a Pogo Stick and shoot a video of a guy playing a melody a half-step sharp of the chords he is playing on a Tyros and there are those around here who would think it was incredible.



In my opinion, yes, absolutely. Some manufactures hire artists to demo products in their booth or for headline shows after hours. These artists get paid for their services. Personally I see no reason they should be allowed to roam around the show floor. Again, the real and only purpose of NAMM is for musical instrument manufacturers to have the opportunity to sell their products to musical instrument dealers. That's all. Anything or anyone that diminishes that opportunity should not be there. When I first started attending NAMM some 30 years ago while working for a local dealer, I was thrilled to see some of my heroes walking around with everyone else. I was young then. But having worked the other side of the track while demoing and selling for various manufacturers over the years, I have an enlightened view.
