Hello Beakybird!
Its very good to hear from you. I'm gald that everything is going well.
PSR 3000/Replacement.
Yes, many of us are waiting, impatiently to see whats going to be on the 3000's replacement.
I use the 3000 too and I am very happy with it. Mine has low miles. If something should malfunction with your board, you can use mine. I will email info to you on how to contact me for something like that. Its a good board though with many users around here. I don't recall hearing about anybody having a show stopper with it.
I don't have need for using half of the functions on the 3000, just good voices and auto-accompaniment. For me to upgrade to TYROS level, or even to the next PSR, I'm really not shure what more I would want out of it.
76 keys with 3 split points that can be saved to a registration, and maybe direct "on" board eq + vol controls would probably do it for me.
Right now, I'm more concerned with amplification, to get the sound quality that I know is there in the 3000, out to the public and even overpower my son's rock band
Beaky, I'm in southwest Chicago, just off I55. The day job has me mostly along the I88 corridor, between Westchester on the east and Naperville on the west, Downers and Lisle alot.
I will email you to find out what you have going in the near future around the western burbs.
I can never find music players/entertainers around here that use arrangers and thats a real bummer.
Through the accordion club, I find out where the midi/arranger accordion players are but thats about it as far as 1 or 2-man entertainers go.
I'll be in touch.
Ed
