Uncle Dave,
No need to be sorry. I need the honesty to flow. When you initially tried the SD7, you returned it due to the vocalizer not satisfying your needs but please ... I need to know (from your prospective) - the issues with KETRON especially since simply opening up a dealer in Phily won't solve the issues.
Thanks for the honesty.
AJ
No more Ketrons for me either. Not buying a Maseratti until there's a dealer in Philly. They are too high end, and prioritized for their reliability quotient. Sorry AJ ...
Maybe someday?
Yes AJ, the vocalizer was at the heart of my discontent with that SD7, but my other concerns are more from a service vein. Your instruments are superior in many ways (like a high end automobile), but without a nearby, competent technician, a working musician is left out in the cold for updates, repairs, and such. Maybe in time your company will grow and expand to fill this niche in the industry, but as long as you remain an "elite" boutique type company, I just can't feel confident putting your gear into my road rig.
Let me add: Your personal service, and knowledge is OUTSTANDING, and I will NEVER,EVER, EVER regret doing business with YOU - or our roadtrip together, or meeting your beautiful family at your home. Even without your title - you're a true PRINCE to me.
I'll keep watching your progress, and maybe someday my opinion will change and I'll try another go-round with your products. Time will tell.
Thanks for weighing in.
