Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon to have $30-40,000 worth of keyboards, amps, mixers, stands, cables and pedals sitting on the stage.

Don is right about personalization...that's why I work so hard at editing styles and trying fresh arrangements of tunes...we all want to sound different than the next Joe using an arranger.

$5-6000 isn't a lot for a top end keyboard...try buying a new Hammond B-3, or a V-Piano...and that's only two sounds...organ and piano.

I hope they fix the bothersome bits with the Audya...be sure that Yamaha, Roland and Korg are watching how it's received, and how players are responding...imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but it is also the way business runs as well.

We'll all benefit eventually.
