Hi Diki

Welcome Back

If a company hasn’t got the money to hire pro demonstrators, then it isn’t going to happen, (The banks certainly won’t lend them the money for it) however the big boys can always splash the cash to get the best.

Question: Which gives the better service, a small dedicated dealer or a big superstore? Then ask who can afford the biggest advertisements; it’s sure not the small dealers, who will in most cases blow the superstore out of the water in the real world.

You also have to be careful of pro demos, as they usually use recording equipment that costs thousands to make them sound great, but in the real world, no user is ever going to get close to that performance. (Just look at some of the demos Yamaha did on the T3; the forums were awash with complaints from owners that they could not get it to sound anything like the pro demos)

If you want to find out how good an instrument is (And whether it’s for you) you have to try it yourself, preferably at a dealer or an owners home so that they can show you the way round it.

Relying on demos is a waste of time, as can be seen by the amount of instruments that are bought after demos, and then found on EBay a few weeks later when they find it isn’t for them.
