A few weeks ago I sought advice on a keyboard for apprentice me. Lots of kind people responded and the general view was that a PSR540 was the go. After deciding that the 520 had the best sound quality in its price range I bought one. I'm rapt. Yes, the sound quality is there and its easy to use. Great owner's manual. And I'm getting used to it's appearance. Thankyou once again to all those who assisted in the choice.
