Quote: “I keep comparing the sounds, the OS, the styles, THE PRICE, and ask myself, "should I even hold on to this piece of overpriced technology?" I prefer to play it the PSR. I prefer to listen to it. I prefer to take it out on my first wedding 'gig' next Saturday. For me it's the best keyboard.

Tim has written a post explaining his frustrations??? If he is having a problem and would ask for help, YES, we are a family that would help him. If he is frustrated by something concerning his KN, then as a man, I would say he should seek help, If he so desires, to alleviate his frustrations. As I read his post he owns both a KN and a PSR. He asks nothing about any of the sounds, the OS or the styles of his KN. Rather he states he has purchased a PSR and in comparing all of the above he prefers his Yamaha in all respects, to his KN. Without any hesitation, he has determined the KN7000 to be a piece of overpriced technology. If this is his opinion, frankly, I don’t have the foggiest idea of why he would ask me to make up his mind for him to hold on to this piece of overpriced crap. According to the poor distracted minister of music, Tim, he states he prefers to play the PSR. He states he prefers to listen to it. He prefers to take it out on his first wedding extravaganza. Last but not least Mr. Distracted finds it not posable to tear himself away from his beloved PSR. Finally he asks me if he is losing his mind. Could be, but I don’t think so. I think Tim, the minister of music, is preaching the gospel of Yamaha and enjoys it, as others on occasion do from time to time. Tim, you ask me to give you a word of encouragement so here go’s. If you love your PSR soooo much, as you say, I would encourage you to spread your gospel of Yamaha in the right church, the ‘Church of the Cheaper’. I have nothing against your gospel, the other church, or you. I, being not like you, am not distracted, am not looking for somebody to make up my mind and am not loosing it. I have chosen this technics forum to seek help in connection with my KN keyboard. To help folks with the same, if and when I can. Also I love to serve up a bit of humor to trigger a smile here and there if I can. A smile is good for the health. I find no humor or reason to listen to a distracted minister of music telling me that my keyboard has inferior sounds, rotten operating system, crappie styles and is a piece of overpriced technology. Of course you have a right to do what you do and post where you post and think like you think. I also have these same rights, to date, and am expressing them as I also please. I believe attitude, the way you look at things, is very important in forming one’s life. If you like Yamaha more than technics, then by all means enjoy it. If you buy something that you consider overpriced, too bad. Remember the old proverb, you fool me once, shame on you, you fool me twice, shame on me. The attitude of coming to me and telling me the choice of keyboard I made and the price I was willing to pay, in your estimation, was poor. It stinks! Yes I mean stinks!! If you are a minister of christian music I think you have some maturing to do. Do unto others as you would have them do to you. As I said before, folks on this forum who have bought a Yamaha product after they have owned a Technics do not go on the other forum denigrating the other guys stuff. Would you like it?? Rather, as John C. says, enjoy the benefits of each for none is perfect in all respects. No need for a negative attitude.

If anybody thinks I am screwed up in my thinking on this subject, feel free to express yourself. As no keyboard has everything and has it put together just right so no man, in all of mankind, has exceeded these specs. Finding and arranging words to express ones thoughts is even harder than creating a perfect keyboard. I have again expressed my thoughts on this subject. The posting of these kinds of threads has absolutely no benefit to anyone or is of any help or encouragement for the people on this forum. I am not saying they do nothing. One thing that they do do with their dodo, is give an insight into the person that creates them. I think a person should say what he means and mean what he says. With that I will say, thanks for the listen.
