Ziggy,

I agree with Steve's post. I also live in a major US metro area, and when I asked the two GEM dealers here they said that they were not planning to be bringing a Genesys into their showrooms. The price they indicated to me was around $4000 US - no small potatoes.

I know that GEM representatives do monitor this (and I am sure other) forums. They know which users are asking for what in their product. IMHO, they have consciously decided not to make an arranger with the features which most of us wanted (like light weight, lots of polyphony, moderate cost).

I don't mean to put down Genesys, having not seen it, heard it, or been able to touch the keys. Indeed, having heard you and other users extoll the virtues of this keyboard, I made an effort to visit the dealers. But as I found out, they have no plans to carry it or promote it.

Regrettably, this puts Genesys out of the running for me.

Regards,
Alex
