Don't forget Jock, I play an arranger myself, but not in the usual "Arranger" sort of way, that includes pressing one "touch play" and all is "done for you".

I am kind of in the "middle" here. I like both "Workstations" & "Arrangers", and the better bread & butter sounds are on arranger keyboards I would say (Piano/Brass/Soloist sounds and so forth). However, when I need to add that "professional" touch, then I nearly always have to use my arranger (KN6500) in a different way (almost like what it wasn't designed for). This is were Pro workstations fit in for me, and hope to purchase one very soon to go along with my arranger.

I'm not as old as you, but my father and great grandfather (and also his father) have a great history of making music, that spans over many years (19th century). Music is in the Family I would say in this houshold, and my father, even though he is nearly 70 years of age now, plays rachmaninov very well, and also lots of Chopin. I use my arranger for fun...then get on the Piano for some serious music.

I used to be a Guitar teacher as well, and have played works by Bach (transcribed by Segovia), Fernando Sor, And Villa Lobos (S/American Composer). I see you have quite a collection of guitars yourself, and also a violin I believe. Isn't that a Karma there along side you Terry?.
