God, Diki's posts qualify as essays, both in quality and quantity! If you are on Skype Diki, and you have spare minutes, I would like to talk to you. I will have a lot to learn.

Anyway, the thing is that, as usual, everyone here is right.

Domenik is right on his struggle to deliver a keyboard that will please as many potential customers as he can, using as many technological advances as he can to his benefit.

James is right in seeing a very capable machine doing things that would bring other, more ordinary machines to their knees, from a technical perspective.

Diki is right in seeing a "rebranded" product, finally on the steps of being offered to the "correct" market.

Spalding is right that the presentation is lacking (read really sucks) when viewed from a sales-marketing perspective.

I stand by Spalding. As I have (in my infinitely nonexistent wisdom) pointed out to Dom years ago, (and I have the link to prove it), he really needed, and now probably DESERVES, a marketing department.

Someone who will explain....
not what the keyboard can do,
but what the keyboard can do FOR YOU.

Sales will triple, IMHO. And correct me if I am wrong, word of mouth and "word of ear" (pardon my pun), still works for both older musicians, and techno kids around.

The most used phrase is still "see the video and HEAR how good this instrument SOUNDS", and not simply "Hey guys, watch this".

I also understand that Domenik may suffer from the "It's my money, therefore I know best" syndrome, which plagues most Greek company owners. And both Italy and Greece sit very close on the world map, especially when viewed from the North American point of view. I bet even Spalding from Birmingham sees them alike. And he is the most right of all.

Dom, the product seems very worthy. Market it well and you won't believe what you've been missing all this time.

Sorry for the tiring message.
