This is what I was saying to you recently, about Yamaha strings having a certain synthetic "sheen". This is both good and bad for me. It's good, because I may be able to keep my Motif XF and either add a Kurzweil, or an Integra-7, or sample libraries for good orchestral sounds. It's bad, though, because I was hoping the Montage would take care of both my acoustic AND orchestral needs (actually, it's "wants", not needs. Come on, who are we kidding here?). Oh, well. Back to the drawing board!
