Jack,
You have said it all - the KN7000 is truly a magnificent instrument - but - you know that there is an old saying that always beckons people.
It goes like this: "The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side of the Fence"

Hi Folks,
Having worked in the music industry for Yamaha Dealers and having my own Technics dealership from 1990/93 and Technics keyboards for myself since, if someone asked what a KN8000 would be OK lets list:- 76 notes,nice. Voice boards as standard, nice. Impot/Export new sound wav. files when availble, 32 track Midi/Technics sequencer and 256 note poly. Yes I am Dreaming but with tis as the only true next step no wonder Technics quit while on the top !!!!!!
JOHN.

Grandpa Doug has gone into the 80's with his 7 still not ageing. Never-the-less I hope we both go out together.

Ruthie says she knows who will go out first! I told her to shut up cus she might beat both of us.

Grandpa Doug, older than my seven but younger than my Ruthie.

Grandpa Doug!

When I was a small child (and I'm not going to tell you how many moons ago that was) I was curious to know how old my Gran was so I asked her and she replied "I am as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth and I will always be young in my heart"

Sounds like you and Ruthie Eh?

Continue to enjoy yourselves, life is too short not to.

Audrey

Hi all
Totally agree with Audry,we also now have 2 KN's. Had a slight hiccup with a switch playing up a while ago, so after getting it fixed I found a near new one for sale and captured it!! The beauty of this is that we can leave the one we take out on gigs in it's travel bag and just swap the SD card over to the rehersal board which remains permanantly set up at home
Also tried a Tyros about 12 months ago. In store demo sounded good, but luckily did not trade in the KN. playing them side by side in the same room was chalk & cheese.My keyboard player ( Wife ) mutinied. Also tried KN2600, lighter but not as easy for gigging or organising My thoughts anyway.
Regards to all
Eddie
???????????? :confused
Don't know how this got re sent, maybe the computer's got altzimers too.
While I'm here, has anyone got a good strong latin style for a Salsa, and for that matter any suggested suitable tunes for the same.
Best to all
Eddie
P.S.
Good to see Alec still drops in from time to time.
best regards to all again
Eddie

The KN7000 is one great keyboard, I agree. But if you compared your KN7 with the Tyros 2 (I presume it was Tyros 2) it did not get a fair trial. Once the EQ is set up on the Tyros 2 you hear a different keyboard, the comparison is no longer chalk & cheese, more like “Cheese and fine cheese”.

My concern is for those who are thinking of changing to a Tyros 2 receive a fair opinion. I have had a KN7 and a Tyros 2 in my home and the comparison is apples to pears, they’re different, both having fantastic features. My only regret is that I should have kept both keyboards, but I have one of those intellectual minds, which usually leads me astray.

I am open to question about both keyboarsds.

John C.
