Donny, I didn't say anything about it not being worthy or unworthy. Someone will like it - just not me, at least from the few demos I've heard. I would never consider purchasing ANY keyboard based upon a couple demos. That's why I'm meeting up with Joe Ayala next week to see and hear his S-950 first hand. That's also why I drove to Philly to see and hear Uncle Dave's Bose L1. It's why I drove to Bricktown, NJ to hear your Barbetta Sona 32SCs many years ago.

Keep in mind that I really liked what I heard when I listened to the Tyros-4 and S-950 demos, but I wouldn't purchase either of them based upon demos. But, when I hear a demo like the one posted in this thread, it tends to be a portal of what one would hear when playing the keyboard first hand, and the person providing the demo seems to be a top-notch player.

Several years ago, when Dan01 had his keyboard store in the Baltimore metro area, I heard a demo of the SD1. To me, the demo sounded harsh and thin. A few weeks later I was able to hear Dan01 play it live at the Piano store where he worked - it sounded thinner and more harsh. At the time he was playing it through an amp that was touted as the best thing since sliced bread. I thought the amp sounded pretty bad, too. I didn't go there to buy the keyboard, but instead to hear the amp. If I recall, you and Scott Yee both purchased one. You sold yours a few months later. I believe the amp was a Motion-Sound KP200. I had the KP100 for a while, an amp that was given to me by a friend because it no longer worked. I had it repaired, tried it out, and traded it to HankB for an old Barbetta he had in the shed. That Motion-Sound was a lousy amp.

Cheers,

Gary
