Because of the impending bad economy, I'm too scared to buy an expensive keyboard like a T3, $3899 USD! Does anyone else agree?

That question is a bit of a double edged sword.

You first need to shop around for price, I think you can find a better price elsewhere I wouldn't pay $3899 for a T3 even if I won a mega millions jackpot. That's not because I don't like the Tyros3, I do. If the price is in line with what I'm willing to pay and I was able to sell other equipment to help finance it I would. But to answer your original question if I had to dig into my pocket and come up with $3899 good or bad economy I would not.

Economy may be bad in many areas, but it doesn't seem to be so here (North Louisiana).
Houses are being built and being sold, loans are being made, everything seems to be booming. I hope it continues.
I think that's a little high for the T3. Check with Frank or George.
I commented last night on buying keyboards and their relative prices.
Go for it and ENJOY!
If we all quit spending the economy WILL only get worse.

If you approach the performance of music as a business, and you expect that the economy will adversly impact the avaiability of paying jobs and revenue, now might be the time to hold off on a major depreciable expense.

If you need a competitive edge to keep what you have or increase your revenue, and your current rig needs a serious upgrade, now might be the time to upgrade.

But, if you're like most of us and really just like new toys, you're on your own!

Don ... that's great to hear ... I wonder why the media doesn't talk about those situations ...
For my own info, are homes also being built in NO in the wake of Katrina?

The economy is good here as well (Mid Atlantic area), restaurants are jammed to capacity with lines of people waiting to get a seat, grocery stores are doing a booming business, and there are homes being built just a few hundred yards beyond my property line with prices beginning at $899,000 and going to 1.2-million.

I haven't been to New Orleans in the past couple of years. I know they have rebuilt a lot of areas, but some are still in shambles.
As for new homes, there isn't any more room in New Orleans for new homes, just to rebuild those that were destroyed.

LOL, now ain't THAT the truth!!!

Hey, is Fran your Dad

travlin'easy,
What is so special about the mid atlantic region? Wow, that's an expensive area? What is the industry there? Where would someone buiding that size house work? Is that typical of the whole area or...just that part of town? Is that where all the crooked congressman & women live...:-)
