This may only be of interest to Bachus (I believe he owns a Gemini module) and Kraft music customers. Got an unexpected update from Crumar for the SEVEN. Several significant features plus MAJOR improvements to the Acoustic Grand and Electric Grand and minor improvements to the Tine and Reed EP models. Notice of the update was sent by Kraft along with a very supportive letter and offers of substantial discounts on future purchases.

I mention this because there could be other updates on other products that your dealer may not have made you aware of (although I realize it is OUR responsibility to check for updates). It may be that Sweetwater has pushed some of these other guys into providing better service but Kraft Music seems to be an OK company to do business with.

No, they update one instrument at a time.. Gemini, mojo, seven..
I am pretty sure that with time some of these updates will find its way to the Gemini

Altough the acoustic piano’s of the seven are different then those in my Gemini..
The Gemini is not branded Crumar, but GSI, but in the end thats the same company..

When I ordered a Numa Compact 2x last week or so, Kraft Music told me that their first shipment had been already sold and that I had to wait for the 2nd shipment. Kraft Music must be doing well as they offer better deals than some of the well known vendors. I also have made a few purchases from http://www.proaudiostar.com/ before. They have good deals quite often, too.

Kraft Music was a sponsor on Synthzone up until the dotcom meltdown in 2000. Ben Kraft is an honest guy and runs a solid instrument business. Provides great reviews and customer support. I totally recommend them as a reputable online music instrument dealer to deal with.

Kraft music is in my neck of the woods and I’ve been there a few times.
They do have showroom with some pianos, a few keyboards, but not a lot. They are primarily online. I bought both my S950 and S970 there at very very good price.
Probably will buy my next board there as well. It’s the only place I know of where
I can see and play before purchase here in Milwaukee area. Guitar Center rarely very rarely has arrangers above the beginner models

It seems that Kraft Music doesn't carry any Ketron product, but Kelly's Music & Computers does.
