There are many different opinions about the KMA; size of the keys and such but I see the keyboard differently.

My Views

1-In the past I had to spend between $1,500 to $3,000 to have the excitement that a new keyboard brings. I am able to do that now with only $499.

2-Every inexpensive Yamaha keyboard I have demoed felt and sounded like a toy. From what I have read so far this is not the case for the new KMA. When mine comes I’ll have the answer.

3- Size Size Size Weight Weight Weight -- These are some of the reasons that I bought a Bose Compact. This keyboard will go to places that none of my other keyboards have been; including my mother-laws, ops no she’s gone. (My sick humor, sorry)

Being familiar with both Yamaha and Technics I was pleasantly surprised at some really great features that my Pa800 offers. You can write about a great keyboard and you can make demos but neither is as effective as have a mini version of its big brothers. I am not surprised to see Scott may have an interest in a Pa3x after owning a KMA for such a short time. This may be trend, an introduction to. I am looking forward to the opinions of those who spend some time with the KMA.

I am able to fill this page with features my Korg keyboard offers so that I am able to sound better and be more effective.
