Hi,

Just some info to think about;

As a past US dealer for Wersi, and Bohn, and
somewhat familar with the OS of the new Wersi line for keyboards and organ, I know for a fact that early opeartions system on new Wersi were very slow on start and reboot - 3-4 minutes but as of a few months ago under a minute for US customers. Where this 15 minutes came has not applied to US customers talking with Ralph Conti Preside of Wersi USA.

Personally ,I can't imagine waiting for anything 15 minutes to boot up. I would be more inclined to shoot it cause evidently it is sick!

With the Wersi split of ownership overseas several years ago, there have been probelms and questionable statement that have exsisted between Wersi and Bohn companies it seems like forever. How do I know this - I was a dealer for both not at the same time and competed against one another at various times. I have had every major artist perform on my store for Wersi and Bohn and or stay at my house and found out alot about both companies and artist.

Competition of both companies has been going on for years and both saying he said she said.

My recolation of both was that Bohn technology was a just a little behind Wersi on all major development fronts, not to say that Bohn was or is not on par with Wersi. I liked both.

The problem with Bohn here in the states, there is no product identity or very few dealers if any for questions, service etc.

At least with Weri we have Wersi USA that
covers most of the US. You can visit their site at ( http://www. wersimusic.com ) or call Wersi at: toll free: 1-800-233-3865 or email Ralph Conti at rpconti@aol.com.

Best thing to do if your interested in either is to check out the facts and make your decision on what you hear, what you find out as fact and go from there. The other is to talk to actual owners here in the US.

All in all you might find out that your Technics is the best you could ever have.
Better than the new Roland you say, better than the new Tyros, Bohn or Wersi - Maybe!!!!
