I've never met John North in person but consider him a good friend of mine. Not only did he help me out on several occasions with the Technics keyboards through this Forum, but when I bought the Yamaha Tyros 3, I found the operating system an extremely up-hill struggle to learn and John kindly talked me through the basics for two hours on the telephone. He also sent me a USB stick with everything on it that we had talked about, ready to load and play. What a joy to play it is too.
I can honestly say if it wasn't for him, the T3 would have been returned to the Dealer within hours of purchase. That was when I came to fully realise what a great keyboard the KN7000 is, way ahead of it's time. Don't get me wrong, I quite like the Yamaha keyboards but for very different reasons. O.K. so the sound system is brilliant on the Yamaha T4(my latest) but, for me, the KN7 keyboard is still the 'King' of them all.
Over the years, I've learned such a lot about the Technics keyboards from members of this Forum. It has always been a welcoming, friendly site and long may it reign.
