Well Heather,
Things aren’t that bad regarding the appreciation of Technics. I recently purchased a Yamaha PSR 3000. NOT in the pursuit of new buttons to push, but to give me a light board to drag around and save wear and tear on my beloved KN7000. While the Yamaha fits the bill in the weight department, the voices are so cheesy as compared to the 7K that I’ve spent days editing the sounds in an attempt to come close to the Technics. So you see my true love is now acting as a guide to keep the the Yamaha from being such an assault on ones musical senses.
Happy NEW YEAR.
Frank
