After many years of Technics keyboards, Kn1000 to Kn6500, I thought it would be a good idea to make a change--Maybe out of bordom. The Yamaha tyros keyboard was the only one that caught my interest. I listen to all the downtloads. I went to a local dealer six times. He put me in a room by myself, set up the keyboard, with amp, and I played and played.

I knew my dancers would like this keyboard, the rhythm was so strong, so out front. (Bass and Drums) I made a decision to purchase it. Two days latter I cancelled the order. Insight? I don't know.

The KN7000s were now available so I purchased one. Technics has never disappointed in the past, so I went for it.

My first thought was it's beautiful, but it's lacking the drive and fullness of the Tyros. I loved everything else about the keyboard. It looked richer, felt much better, and I like the light. Hee Hee

After one month of trying to get a fuller sound on the Latins, Big Band, and the shuffels, I almost gave up, I had my doubts.

One evening I said to my wife,(my best pal)"This Kn7000 keyboard is a tool that was made to create, so I decided that I was going to find a way to create the strong feel that I needed. I do not give up easily.

The KN7000 came through. After working with the user drum edit and the sound edit, I got more than I needed. The basses and drums were now out front, and the Tyros no longer compared. This keyboard is awsome----But you must learn how to use it, it is a tool.
I love it, John C.
In my humble opinion!!!
