Henni, we're not talking apples and apples. You're talking about a great machine and a great upgrade. You're right. I'm talking about a major business ethics violation. I'm right on that one, too.


You have chosen to buy the machine of your choice...GOOD FOR YOU!

I have chosen NOT to buy the machine of my choice.

Worst ethics violation(s) I've ever seen in the music business and I've been in it over 50 years.

Yamaha, Roland, Korg...ANY other manufacturer would have either fired the person involved on the spot, or NEVER entered an agreement where selling direct, against established dealers (and telling the customer...ME...not to tell a dealer)was allowed.

Either way, I'd NEVER have anything to do with EITHER the company, OR the individual.

You are giving a vested interest group valuable information about what you think is a great product. That's what a good "Zone" participant does.

I'm telling about a terrible business practice, thinking that prospective customers have the right to know, before making decisions. I feel it's my obligation to tell my associates here. That's also what a conscientious "zone" member should do.

Good luck with your Ketron product.

Wish me good luck with mine, because, when/if they break, guess who I "ain't" going to count on for repair?
