Jerry and Jackie...I doubt very much if anyone is trying to prod Donny into a brawl.
That's just plain silly, and actually, making a statement like that is even goofier.
I certainly have not questioned Donny's integrity...in fact, if you read my posts, I have said nothing but good things about his little demo, his singing, and his show.
I also have never heard him play solo arranger (except for the recent demo), but, I am willing to take the word of those here on SZ who have actually heard (and seen) Donny, and also even jammed with him, that he can play. Then again, it would be nice to hear him play in person, but, for me that's not possible, so I have to rely on recordings and/or videos.
Try to keep these discussions on topic please; there's no need of admonishing those who have simply expressed an opinion...just like you have done.
Ian

it takes me hours to get used to going from a very small keyboard to a full size (and vice versa), but there are those able to do it...Scott Yee says it's difficult, but not impossible. To be honest, even on first play out of the box, I experienced very little problem adjusting to playing 'one note at a time' style melodies similar to the playing style showcased so professionally in Donny's demo. For me, the difficulty comes up when more advanced Right hand piano playing is attempted, like a succession of block chords (closed voiced). Though the keys are most certainly small, I find them acceptably playable, as long as you can deal with the limitations. Some people can, some not. For those with larger hands and/or fingers, I would pass on this keyboard, but for average and smaller sized hands, it shouldn't pose much of an adjustment problem. I continue to play my T4 , my acoustic grand, as well as microArranger and able to adjust my playing approach accordingly. ![](http://www.evworld.com/images/bart_sfo.jpg) I was invited to an impromptu dinner party in San Francisco yesterday and simply put my 9 lb microArranger into a gig bag and easily took it on BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) into SF to entertain friends, playing the Korg micro thru the host's hi-fi system. Everyone was blown away by the impressive sound and above all, we all had fun. I sang & played the entire time in auto accomp arranger mode. I've got no illusion of this Korg micro ever 'replacing' my Tyros 4 arranger setup, but it certainly fills the 'all in one' pro sounding ultra portable take anywhere arranger keyboard niche I for so long could only dream of.

That's good to hear Scott, and I'm sure it won't replace most (if not all) full size, pro level arranger setups, Yamaha or otherwise. It is fine for simple left hand chords and single note right hand melodies, which it is no doubt designed for, and it does have an excellent sound for how cheap it is. Happy playing, Ian
