I took the G-70 and my Bose to my band gig where I play with 20 acoustic instruments. I was pointed at by the director to take a solo on all of the songs(20). We do all songs 4 times. 1.all 2.sax section and clarenet 3.Piano or designated player 4.all.

This was due to the great layers created on the G-70,which are essembles created for different sections of the band, depending on who shows up. On the KN7000 and PA800, I would average about 5 or 6.

I sit over on the left, while the brass and woodwinds are on the right. My G-70 and Bose easily balances the sound. Needless to say, I was very proud of my G-70.

Maybe Russ should have taken it out of the box.. ...and maybe Zuki should have forced himself to learn a bit more about the G70..

Oh well!!!!! at least you are happy...and you know why you are..

Jim, I'm not using the SD-5 out yet, but Fran will be enlightened to know that I have opened the case on this one.

My main focus is the C-1 Nord and Electro with my grandson playing drums. 2nd is a trio with me playing guitar and piano with my son playing upright and my grandson on drums. Over in the "Bar" I mentioned that I have decided to make playing arrangers out a low priority right now. Nothing wrong with them, but I'm happiest making other musicians sound good and I revel in that wonderful loose communication on the bandstand where you play off each other, complete with time and key changes, medleys, trading fours, etc.

The SD-5 is GREAT, just not what I'm doing at the moment. Of course, for some jobs, it's the only way to go, and I'll use it when appropriate. I just don't like doing singles.
Luckily, there is enough work to be flexible...a single on nylon string with all instrumentals, a quiet grand piano job...everything up to working with the Philharmonic and a group of 13.

I like variety and, after over 50 years, still LOVE this business!


Russ

Forced myself is the operative phrase - no thanks. When comparing the 800 vs the G70 in equal time, I knew without a doubt to go with the 800 (for my needs).
