not really sure if his is answering the question as i really dont think it matters what the audience think. Just ask yourself why so many people here are considering buying the T2. or why they bought the T1 ? Wasnt it because they heard these amazing demos by great demonstrators and thought the key board would enhance their sound too ? But the truth is that if Petter Baartmen and his colleagues were to demo the korg i3 or the roland em2000 or the yammy psr1000 they could convince us to by those older keyboards all over again !! The point i am making is that subconsciously we all believe that it is the keyboard that is making them sound so good and that if we purchase that keyboard we will sound better. The truth is that it is and always will be the player that makes the great music.But it is inevitable that if a great player plays an instrument then we the listeners will place disproportionately relevance to the instrument instead of its player. Thats exactly why the big manufacturers get great demonstrators to demonstrate their instruments. Its basic psychology. We are not immune to it as musicians so why should our audience be ?
