I saw one yesterday and I it's really really ugly! I had never seen a keyboard like that....

Yes, you are right about that. The KN7000 is very ugly. To my eye the KN6000 was the most beautiful keyboard at the time, but I wonder why Technics has made the KN7000 so ugly.

I'm right there with both of you.. The KN-7000 is one unattractive little lady. What was Technics thinking when they designed the body to this thing????? It's like they took a step backwards (like 10 years) with the body molding. Yamaha did this a long time ago with a PSR board, and it hasn't been duplicated until now.. To me it looks very dated.. I personally thought the design of the 6000/6500 was beautiful.. It had great curves

Forget what it looks like.............How Does It Sound & feel when you play it?

Would you buy a very reliable car with a very ugly look and design?...
I wouldn't...

...... a hell of a lot of VW Beetles have been sold... .... besides, I have seen a number of posts complimenting the look of the kn7 .... and we ALL know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ... AND, only skin deep, ... in kb's it's what's UNDER the skin that matters.....
t.

UGLY!!!!!!! :-)

Regarding the KN7k, the "Sunken" keyboard bed is what I wasn't comfortable with when I played one. It sounded fine with a great speaker system.

The KN7000's innovative design may be subject to artistic taste, but I feel its quality craftsmanship, solid contruction, and 'attention to detail' surpass any arranger KB out there. It's also important to note that electronics (and cars) manufactered 'in Japan' continue to hold the lead worldwide for both quality (worksmanship) & reliability.

Ok, I forgot to mention, I think the KN7000 sounds and plays GREAT ! My only 2 beefs about it are . . . well, you already know . . .

Come on guys,we all know looks are not important..I mean really would'nt you rather have a woman that is sort of ugly but cooked and cleaned the house, instead of a great looking girl that wasn't a home body......what the heck am I talking about of course we what the looker..
