No, but I AM saying that not many "old people" are willing to shell out 3-5 grand for a deferred-gratification ANYTHING; especially when there are other cheaper, easier-to-use, instant-gratification options. It's kind of like you need to get to another country in a hurry and are willing to shell out 4 or 5 million to get there. You are given a Learjet, a set of keys, and an operating manual. Good luck. You might get there eventually (maybe with the help of a do-it-yourself video by James ) but it won't be soon and I guarantee you won't be able to get any passengers to take that maiden flight with you.

I'm not against learning a new instrument. I just don't want it to be my primary focus. The greatest instrument in the world in the hands of a lousy musician is still going to produce lousy music, wherein a great musician is going to make just about anything sound good. Let's face it, there are way more capable keyboards out there than there are capable keyboard players. Maybe it's time to shift our emphasis and stop obsessing over the next 'latest, greatest'. JMO.
