Not too shabby!

Hi Frank
I wish you were in the UK ...your deal is great.
In pounds yours is £1700 (approx)
Here in the UK we are being asked to pay £2000 minimum.

who will be first? Donny or DonM? inquiring minds want to know ...

Unfortunately VAT is a lot more than USA/Connecticut Sales Tax which accounts for the difference - If Frank were in the UK the price would about the same.

Tony....being a big previous Ketron owner & player thru the years yes I'm very interested, But, at this time I need to see &
hear much more of the SD7 & it's features before I commit. Also with the ever pending & awaited New Yamaha S950 successor just around the corner a sit back & wait attitude might be the wise choice for now.

Take Care

If you snooze you lose!

hmmmm ... so do we take it that YOU are not going to lose, Don?

Let me say this - I think this keyboard will be a game-changer. All the stuff I need in a fairly small footprint.
New interface, new OS, great mic processing/harmony, BIG color touch screen, joystick, audio drums, video outs built in, speakers (for monitor if nothing else), guitar input doubles as second mic input, compatible with Ketron footswitch (which I already have), etc.
It also has a "Phrase" mode in the recorder that allows you to record your own short sequences and have them loop in time with the style.
All the real-time controls seem to have well-located buttons within easy reach. Three USB connections, ability to add larger hard or solid state drive if needed, and more.
It has many of the features I loved on the Audya, plus it addressed some of the things I didn't like, such as placement of the mod and pb wheels. Weight is somewhat heavier than optimum for me, but still less than Audya. It is comparable in weight to Tyros but not as big and bulky.
It seems to have it's own niche between extreme top of the line and motl. I think it will compare favorably with anything on the market.
AJ has told me that he will personally open each box, and examine every unit that comes into the country, just to be certain everything is as it should be.
As far as ordering, I pretty sure the prices being offered now will be a one-time thing.
