Hi Larry,

Thanks for the Easter greetings my friend. I wish you and your family a Happy Easter as well.

Just read your post. I hear where you are coming from as regards obsolescence, Larry, and it is likely many, if not most, people would hold that point of view. I tend to determine whether my equipment is obsolete or not by asking myself if it can still do everything I ask of it rather than comparing it to the latest gear on the shelf. For example, my computer is running at 400 MHz in an age when speeds are above 2 GHz. If I bought a 2.8 GHz machine, the difference in speed would not be noticeable in any of the work I do. My son is running above 2.0 GHz on all of his machines and there is no obvious difference as I sit at his computers doing a task I normally perform. The one difference I see in his machines is in the graphics area because he is using high end graphics cards along with a high speed microprocessor. But that isn't important to me.

The logic I apply to my computer is applied equally to my keyboard. My KN6000 does everything I ask of it AND MORE! I'm still learning how to use many of its features. I've seen and listened to the KN7000 and it is indeed a wonderful instrument. I especially like the improved speaker system and the much improved organ section. But until my needs fail to be met by the KN6000, I'll keep it. Who knows? Maybe one day I will buy a KN7000. But then I may just wait for the next generation flagship KN. We'll see.

Happy Playing, Larry!
