Hi All. I am contemplating selling my KN7000 as I recently purchased a Tyros 4.

It's in PERFECT condition with all manuals, original disks, cover etc.

I can only play one at a time so I figured I'd have to let it go but so far I have not been able to force myself to advertise it.

Is there anyone close to Baltimore who may be interested ?

I have no idea what they are going for now-a-days but I guess it's close to $2K ?

I recently bought one from New Jersey for a student in almost new condition for $2,100 including shipping. There is no discernible wear on any button or key. So your price of $2000 is probably a good number. There are two on eBay now but they are not in mint condition.

Hey Bob ! Thanks for the info. Mine looks like it just came out of the box.

I really hate to part with it as it sounds just so darn good. But I can't justify two keyboards sitting around, especially since I'm just a casual player and don't do any public playing.

Actually, I have a KN2000 AND a Yamaha PSR-SQ16 as well. Both in perfect condition.

That Yamaha SQ16 was top of the line for these "easy to play" keyboards. Yamaha was ahead of the curve on this and it has some really good built-in tracks. It was/is more difficult to use than the KN series of keybopards.

Hope you can understand the o/s of the Tyros - good luck...

PRATZERT...... When in doubt....DON'T!!!!

If you like your 7K.... don't sell it!!!! I have 2 7K's with
no interest in selling either. One is in my only home, a motor home. The other is in the RV park "Club House" where I play for the every day "Happy Hour."
Anything I have that I enjoy I will keep. Wish I still had the
KN1000, it was a great machine too, IMO!

Wow! A KN7000 just sold on eBay for $1,325 located in Fort Worth Texas with free shipping. It looked in pretty good shape as well. That's the lowest I've seen in the USA.

I could not afford buying a second Kn7000 as a backup for my original one (paid $2000)like many of you guys do, until I saw this ad last year... The guy was asking $800 for it !!! I couldn't beleive my eyes! I finally got it for $700 and it was in pristine condition as it was from the original owner.

Serge, you need to buy some lottery tickets . . .

Hello PRATZERT,

The Tyros 4 is an excellent keyboard if you only want to play on-board styles, but the operating system is attrocious and needs to be brought into the 20th century in my opinion. I recently px my KN7000 for the Yamaha PSR950 which is also a good keyboard and being lighter in weight is easier to transport (which is why I bought it) However, I really miss my KN7. It was a major mistake parting with it. Like Elizabeth said - think hard before parting with it.

Geez... I have to re-think selling the KN7000.

Sounds like it's something to hold on to until it dies.

I already have the Tyros 4 and will try it out. I do plan to pretty much use just the onboard sounds and accompinaments.

If I just do that, maybe I won't have to deal with the OS very much.

I didn't realize it was still so bad and thought Yamaha had brought it more up to speed with the model 4.

I wonder what Yamaha may bring with the Tyros 5 ?

I hope they make the OS better adn then I'd sell the 4 and get the 5 and even still hold onto the Kn7000.
