I believe it is...I do have a "Brand" loyalty..and for a reason...The company that I am most loyal to...has been consistantly top quality, featured layden, with the tools and sounds that I like best...I have used this brand as a benchmark, that I judge all other brands..

This is not to say the other brands do not make fine products...I just think across the board my favorite brand has been the leader in quality products..Have they had some products that I dislike...you bet, but overall far and away the best line up to me...

Brand loyalty makes sense, if you are confident in the company..

Fran, my favorite brand is Ketron. I have 2 Solton MS-60's still in use, a Midjay and an SD-5.

Love the sound, but will not do any business with the current distributor; especially with his representative(s).

From an ethics and support standpoint, these guys are pathetic.

Am looking now for a different brand.

Nothing wrong with brand loyalty. Korg is the King for me followed by Roland.

No brand loyalty whatsoever. Anything that does exactly what I want it to do will be whatever I want to use. I've got keyboards by Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Kurzweil, Ensoniq, and have used most others at one time or another.

They are simply tools... Make a better mousetrap, and I won't worry about the logo on the case!

Most items these days are not produced by the manufacture that has their name on the front, but by some sweat shop in China. (Or similar)

So in most cases the answer is NO.

True. I will say it different. I am loyal to the brand I like the sounds and styles most and that is Korg followed by Roland smile

Nope...they are not loyal to us, and loyalty is a two-way street
