"So..better stop with the weight arguments because I really don't care and I will not listen."
That's what he said. BUT, I shouldn't have generalized about his listening to customers.
I do appreciate the fact that Dom is accessible and that he is willing to work with his customers. Keep up the good work.
I am not arguing. I don't care how wonderful it is. It's not suitable for my purposes and I won't be carrying it around every day.
I can name half a dozen arrangers that do the job very well and weigh in the 30-pound range. I'm 63 years old and have a bad back, and I move my equipment sometimes 4-8 times a week. I don't really care for semi-weighted keys, because the progressing arthritis in my right hand is aggravated by the heavier keys.
I won't be using the arranger for studio work. The sounds the top arrangers come with are more than adequate to entertain the folks for which I play.
I'm not saying anyone else should be concerned about the weight, only that I am. So the MS is out of consideration for me, that's all. It is in good company because GEM, Wersi and the top Rolands are also out of the picture for me.
I do hope to hear Fran's MS one day, and I know it will sound great, but I won't be getting one.
As for happy faces, all one must do is follow the Golden Rule. In case we've forgotten, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Good advice regardless of its origin, or of which religion, if any, we observe. A lot of us haven't been following that at all, and I'm so dissappointed and so sad that I have trouble even reading the forum because I don't want to see what will happen next.
Go in peace and make beautiful music. Or at least danceable.
