Canadians, UK and Ausies really get screwed with VAT and import taxes when it comes to arranger keyboards, at least that's the way it appears to me. Our idiot past governor tried proposing a VAT in Maryland - he's lucky someone didn't put a bullet in him. Instead, he raised and instituted 42 new taxes in the 8 years he was in office. Now, that's how you kill an economy - tax the Hell out of the businesses and they get fed up and leave the state high and dry.

I agree with Donny about the bulk of the Tyros. It's not really all that heavy, but it's big and bulky and when you lug this stuff in and out of a couple locations every day of the week, it makes a HUGE difference.

All the best,

Gary cool
