When I last played as a semi pro it was in a five piece vocal harmony band
drums, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, organ, with all five members singing vocals/harmony. We practised very often & were really tight on the harmonies.
Sometimes I would go & play solo in nursing homes for free & entertain the old folks or maybe in a hotel lounge for a good fee.

As a band we were offered a contract to go pro & tour Germany for less money than I earned in my day job & that is where a lot of bands started the long grind & most called themselves pro but went nowhere.
Today we are blessed with the KN range agreed the 6K harmoniser is a non starter but don't let us be short sighted here have a look at what there is in the rest of the box for your money.
KN5000 £1999/ KN6000£19999/ KN6500£1999/ KN7000 £2099 now I defy anybody to say they did not get great value for their money.
My A100 Hammond of course today a classic never had built in styles nor a sequencer or any of the features that today make the KN a joy & 30 years ago minus the Leslie cabinet it cost as much as any of todays arranger keyboards.
I'M SATISFIED thats entertainment
