Sorry to slightly disagree with Bill !!

The reason the KN7000 is now selling in UK at 1000 GB Pounds (1600 Dollars)and appreciating (you could buy a KN7000 for 6-800 GB Pounds 2 years ago !!), is that this is the amount 'Adam Bolin' in Jakarta, Indonesia will pay for them. He has bought almost every KN7000 advertised in UK or traded in via Dealers over the last 2 years (i.e. Bonners in Eastbourne and Roger Haggarty in Nottingham). This has created a scarcity, and scarcity forces prices up. He is a victim of his own success !!

I loved my KN7000 as much as I loved my Yamaha 9000 Pro, and would class them as equals, with the various Pro's and Cons of each. They were both the last of a line of substantially constructed instruments, actually manufactured in Japan, and were both of the same production dates. For a 'gigging' musician, the 9000 Pro was a much more rugged instrument, with a steel case and chassis, and at over 50 pounds in weight you have to believe that ! I believe that the beautiful styling of the KN7000 balances that off as an 'equal'.

A Mint 9000 Pro with every extra (Speakers, Hard Drive, Gooseneck Lights, etc., struggles to get 500 to 600 GB Pounds on Ebay, and in my opinion, without the 'Scarcity Factor' that is what a similar KN7000 would achieve.

How do I know this ? - Have a look H E R E at my Yamaha 9000 Pro, which is currently on sale (but unsold after 7 Days !!) on UK Ebay.

If you are interested enough - I have posted a Video of myself playing a 9000 Pro, and some recordings from it, which with a fair and unbiased opinion, I am sure you will agree are of a similar quality as can be produced on the KN7000 by a competent musician.
