Thanks John,
I always appreciate your input. I too think Diki is right about the "modernization" of arranger keyboards. But, most of the young crowd prefers the Synths and pure workstations. I have elected to return several of the newer arranger keyboards because the styles were not as useful to me as were those on older arrangers. My guess is if you currently own a really top notch high quality arranger and, like me, you mostly play for the senior citizens it might be wise to hang on to it. Roland is not doing much with arrangers today-I haven't played the BK-9 yet, Korg has already moved toward the more modern sounds, and who knows where Yamaha and Ketron will go in the future.
