My understanding was that there total promotion of Technics keyboards came from stupidity. The only way music dealers could carry the Technics keyboards was to carry the full line of Technics pianos and organs. They also limited their sales by not allowing professional music gear stores to carry their keyboards. Don't know if it was because of competition of Korg, Yamaha and other keyboards carried by these stores. It was only piano and organ stores where one could buy Technic keyboards. Keyboards like Yamaha can or could be bought in many places including camera stores.
