There's a Kn7000 in My House - 02/12/19 03:59 AM
There’s a Technics Kn7000 in my house. I am still amazed at this keyboard; it’s so friendly, and it sounds so good. How the keyboard got into my house is a heart warning story about Roger Bellotti and myself; I will post the story at a later time.
Getting started is going to be a challenge, I’ve forgotten so much. If you have any of my old work, I would appreciate sending to me.
Why did I sell my Pa4x? When you become a senior there so many things you can no longer do. What we are left with is our precious memories; they fill a good part of our day. So instead of reaching for a Genos I bought a Kn7000 so I can visit some of those memories.
Last night when I looked at my Kn7000 I had a big smile on my face.
Life is so good, John C.

Good for you, John ... One can only imagine what technics would be producing if they were still producing ...

Hi John,
Congratulations.
That feeling should be felt by all of us at least once, whatever K/B it is.

Congratulations John, always came across that you really missed it. Biggest mistake in my “ musical foray “, the day I sold mine, many many years ago.
Don’t think they make them as reliable as the old technics range.
3 korgs and every single one of them has ended a with a problem.

My Kn7000 story in short form:
I found one last year, RC (Roger) posted one For Sale.
1-I called a few weeks ago he still had it.
2-He said he was driving his motorhome to Florida, and I committed he will bring it. I said yes.
3-A few days before he was to arrive I was having some health problems. Roger was a bit annoyed that I had not called. I was supposed to drive to the Cape Coral, 254 miles round trip. I was in no condition to make that trip.
4-I told him that I could not keep my commitment, and why. His answered; ‘I don’t blame you John, at your age I wouldn’t do it”. I’ll drive it over.
5-He not only bought it to my house – he then set it up, plugger it in – and then he brought in two boxes filled with goodies. I valued them to be about $600. AND, the Kn7000 was in fantastic condition.
RC (Roger) he is a giver, he was out to bless the people he was dealing with.
Roger has to be one of the nicest people that I have met. We had lunch together and talked about the old Technics times we had.
I got a keyboard, boxes of goodies, and I got to make a new friend.
Nigel, this is another way that SynthZone blesses people, thank you.
