A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum... - 06/19/03 11:02 PM
I had some free time today so I decided to cruise over to my local GC to check to see if there happened to be a shining new PSR 2100 in stock. There wasn't when I called a few days ago but I was in the area so I stopped and went inside to have a look see for myself. Still no PSR 2100 but they did still have a PSR 2000 on display. I stepped inside the Home Keyboard Department room and just casually looked around to see if there was anything new when a guy walks in and starts to play the PSR 2000. I told him the PSR 2000 was an excellent Keyboard much better compared to the PSR 740 which he told me he use to have. I told him I owned a PSR 2000 and the Vocal Harmony was much improved over the PSR 740 also. I also mentioned to him that the new PSR 2100 had just been released and was currently selling in Australia and Europe and it was just beginning to show up in the States. I told him some of the new features on the PSR 2100 like the new Live!, Cool!, and Sweet! Voices and that it had double the WAV ROM of the PSR 2000, etc. The guy said that he had all of his equipment stolen just recently! (Another reason to keep your eye on your gear when gigging.) He had his PSR 740 and a Roland something "I couldn't make out what he said", stolen. Well, I thought he would really be excited about me telling him about the new PSR 2100. I told him it should be available at GC within a month or two at the most. He told me he couldn't wait that long. So, yep, you guessed it. He took the PSR 2000, but he actually took the one on Display!! GC didn't have one in a box and the Display model was their 'last one'! So much for double the WAV ROM and new Sweet!, Cool!, and Live! voices. In his mind anyway!!! He almost certainly was a gigging Musician (although I didn't ask him if he was) and apparently he needed a Keyboard ASAP.
I find it very amusing. Here I am trying to convince him that he should get a PSR 2100 and the next thing I know I turn around and he has the PSR 2000 under one arm headed for the checkout counter. I mean when you think of it, if he was a gigging Musician the guy could of rented a Keyboard for a few weeks if he wanted to, then afterwards buy a PSR 2100; which I was trying to convince him to do. I guess I didn't convince him. Well at least he bought the PSR 2000!!! I guess I had a hand in that too.
Best regards,
Mike
