Hello! :-)

I'm a Norwegian non-Pro musician (not a professional, sorry for my bad English...)

I just wanted to tell you that I've got a 9000Pro, and I just love it! :-)

I got my 9000Pro 9th of January 2002, and I've been totally happy with it all the time. Actually, I have had a few problems with the hard drive, but the trouble was caused by a damaged hard drive, so it had nothing to do with the keyboard.

In fact, my display has gone blank sometimes, but it was probably caused by the keyboard stand, the 9000Pro is a big keyboard, and needs to stand steady... :-)

Actually, before the 9000Pro, I owned a Technics KN6000, in which I also loved... But I realised that the KN6000 didn't had the best sounds possible, and that you pay a lot of money for the fancy display... I therefore decided to spend my money on MUSIC instead! :-)

I think the 9000Pro is some more tricky to use then the KN6000, but now I'm totally happy with the 9000Pro, it's the best keyboard to play! :-)

The sounds on the 9000Pro is great (the Live!Piano is for instance way better than the Grand Piano (the piano sound on the PSR9000, also included on the 9000Pro), the Sweet Pan - and the organs!!!)

Actually, the organ sound was the reason why I exchanged my Technics KN6000. It wasn't bad, but "the organ sounds on the TV" (many of the TV shows in Norway use Yamaha...) was best. And, actually, it isn't the only sound that is greater on the 9000Pro, I think all the 9000Pro sounds are just great.

I considered the PSR9000, which I actually was going to buy. But the day I should tell my music store that I wanted the PSR9000, I got the 9000Pro demonstrated - just in case. And I changed my mind immediately! :-)

Well, again, I just wanted to tell you that I love my 9000Pro! :-)
