The remaining obstacle for me not purchasing a Ketron Audya keyboard yet is its reputed poor reliability (reported by more than a few people I know) and reported poor aftermarket support and repair turnaround, especially since there are no dealers or authorized repair centers in my local area (San Francisco Bay Area).
They won't even carry the line at all here in Eastern Canada, and arrangers are
very popular here.
Dealers quote poor reliability, and dismal support, as the main reasons for not carrying the product.
It may sound wonderful, but if it's going to sit on a repairman's table for much of it's life, I don't think having a warm full sound is going to make up for it.
