He can spend $4500.00 on a new keyboard, but not on living room or bedroom furniture????

I guess it's all about priorities!



In danger of sounding like a broken record, I thought about it too, couldn't voice it though. House seems very poor in contrast to the Tyros.

You two gotta be kidding!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the purpose of the videos is to share the excitment about a new keyboard. I was never under the impression that KEN was seeking critiques about the furniture in HIS home. You guys could at least pretend to be polite!

I am sorry, but this just pisses me off. Comments like this make it clear why people don't post more videos with their music.

Me either. I think tipping has gotten ridiculous in this country. What happened to just doing your job? Certain services seem to rely on it but not just regular jobs.

How asinine, commenting on the guy's furniture. The video is essentially inviting you into the guy's house. Is that how you behave when you go into someone's home? - criticizing their furniture? Pleeeez!

I'm super happy for Ken! I wish I had more $$, and I would be ordering the T4 too.

if the guy earned his money honestly he can spend it anyway he wants. He said in the video that he would keep this keyboard for at least 5 years. How many on here do that ?

I know if i wanted a keyboard so bad i would buy it over a new car , over a new carpet etc. Some of us have completely forgotten the passion that we used to feel when we made music. I can identify with this guys excitement and i just know he will do more with that Tyros than many of us here have done with the half dozen keyboards we have bought in as many years.

I've got MORE respect for someone that gets the best musical equipment and worries less about furniture, not the other way round!

Shows you where someone's true priorities lie (and some of the posters here, too! )...

Kudos, Scott!

Oh great. All of a sudden all the high and mighty come out of the woodwork expressing outrage for someone who makes an honest observation not derogatory in any way, and then most of you in some other thread will probably cut the legs out from under someone who purchases a keyboard or expresses an opinion different from yours.

I too think that commenting on the guys furniture is not exactly politically correct, so I held on and didn't post it. (The first time).

Sorry if i stepped on your toes guys, but when you are in the public domain, you get criticized. Either for your lack of playing skills, or for your lack of social skills, or for your asinine remarks, or for lack of furniture etc. Please note that the furniture comment is about the CONTRAST between the $4,500 instrument vs the furniture, not about the furniture itself. I grew up on the medium to poor side, but what we have, are at the same level. Here in Greece, you get many people living in the equivalent of tin houses with dirty kids and at the same time having a Mercedes or a BMW parked outside, and no money to fill it up. I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent and the musical equivalent, a Casio bought in 1994. Feel free to tell me about my car and my keyboard.

Well yeah you do have a point there.......Its ok to trash another's very personal opinion and choices of tools they use for their passion in life......but "gwatdammit" lay off the furniture? LOL

Oh the humanity.......
