Mike,
"Paul Davis has become National Sales Manager recently here in the USA. He was never the service manager but rather regional sales manager in the Western United States."

>My mistake George. Thanks for clarifying that. Actually after investigating further I think Paul's 'true' title is: "District Sales Manager", ie., DSM. His district being the Western United States. PS: What a huge undertaking! With your willingness to go out of your way and drive from place to place to display and demo a Genesys or Genesys Pro I would imagine your vehicle has racked up many a mile Paul. I hope GEM is giving you a driving allowance.

"You'd be surprised how many stores across the US that have the Genesys or the Genesys PRO in-stock. At this time, I have no plans to introduce Genesys keyboards into catalog stores."

>Paul your statement comes as a shock to me. If what you're saying is true (and I don't doubt that it is) please tell your underlings to ship some Genesys/Pro's to the San Diego area. I have searched high and low for the Genesys Pro here in the San Diego area but came up empty handed. It sure would be nice to demo a Genesys Pro in my area instead of having to drive a 100+ miles to demo one at George's store.

After I demoed it here and decided to get it I would then be willing to travel up to George's and purchase it from him. But to demo it here in my area would possibly save me a fruitless trip up to George's demoing one there and finding out it didn't suit me, ie., (my Arranger needs, style of playing, features, etc.) I just spent half a day fighting traffic using a half tank of gas, breathing all that smog (no offense George ) and got home with nothing to show for it - except of course in being able to meet George, and see his store and all that it offers. What is GEM's reasoning and aversion to placing the Genesys/Pro in the San Diego area anyway? PS: If there really is a store in my area please let me know which one[s] it/they are Paul.

Best regards,
Mike
