What harm is it in posting my appreciation of Yamaha products? I think most that know me will confirm that I love Roland products too. You just seem to look for trouble all the time.

I will never post my work for you to publicly humiliate me as you do others - repulsive.

You find my posts irrelevant? I find yours self-serving.

Zuki has NEVER posted that Yamaha's the best. All he's done is stating that he's satisfied with his current keyboard. And dragging him into this thread just to make fun of him has no virtue at all. Zuki has a wonderful sense of humor but some things just aren't funny. I think you owe him an apology, Diki.

To post or not to post demos ... that's up to the individual. That doesn't mean that non-posters are lesser musicians. Maybe they don't have the need for self-gratification.

I disagree...they are more than just "tools" because music is a personal thing and an art form....gardening is just...gardening.

A person's choice of musical instrument is a very personal thing...just witness how defensive people get when someone puts down their keyboard choice.

Much of the bickering on this forum begins with this type of posting...so it stands to reason that it is more than just a "tool" to the majority of members.

It may be a "tool" to you Diki, but that's just your opinion...to others their arranger is their "baby" and not to be insulted.

Ian, it's a good thing my wife doesn't read this board as she is a Master Gardener and would be calling for your head about now. Luckily, she's also a musician so she might let you live .

chas

Yes chas....I certainly wouldn't want to get "planted".

Ian

I had a hunch that something was growing.

What instrument does she play, Chas? I bet she loves Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers.

Taike

She plays flute and piccolo. Played with the Philadelphia Summer Orchestra while in grad school at Temple Univ. That's basically the orchestra without the first chair players.

chas

I'm impressed. That makes her a high-caliber musican.

Not really. Way more training than talent (like I said, she doesn't read this board). Although she can read and play anything, I'm asleep after the second note. Just no soul, I guess. She'd think Monk's 'round midnight was pretty but only if I played it without using jazz chords. Probably a missing or mutated gene. Oh well, she makes a fantastic omlette.

chas

LMAO

I'm getting this mental image of your wife playing the flute and you doing the Pink Panther walk.

At least you're not starving.
