I agree with John C. Having the Tyros 3 has made me realise just what a 'masterpiece' the KN7000 is in comparison. After all the 'hype' on the Tyros 3, I felt a bit let down as it isn't nearly as 'User Friendly' as the KN7. As far as I'm concerned the only real thing the Tyros 3 has got going for it, is the sound system which I readily admit is really good. However, when I run the KN7 through my Stagepas 300 system, you can barely tell the difference. In fact I've always thought that if the KN7 used three voices in the right hand (as does the T3) there would be no 'competition'.

As for mentioning other makes of instruments on this Forum, you might be interested to know that I also visit the Yamaha Forum and the Technics KN7000 is frequently mentioned on there for various reasons. As GJ says, so long as it just a 'passing comment' and not 'sales patter' I don't see that it can do any real harm.

Fred! I look forward to that MP3 - thanks in advance.
