There is no Talibans like Yamaha Talibans

Diki would be unhappy if he were hung with a brand new rope. If you look at page 2 of the forum, nearly every post ends with negative comments by Diki. A few folks, including himself, claim no one really reads what he says, and that everyone misinterprets his comments. We read them, and read them thoroughly. No one said he was not intelligent. He just has a way of really pissing people off with his negativity, particularly when commenting about one of the world's most popular arranger keyboards, amps, mics, keyboard stands, computers, etc..., and the people that use them. If those comments were constructive, helpful to those that use those arranger keyboards, or other products, they would be better received by the masses of this forum. My primary reason for coming to this forum 11 years ago was to garner information from those individuals that had a lot of first hand information on arranger keyboards, sound systems, and performing. That information was here in abundance and I for one, got a great education from a number of caring individuals. At that time, there were no pissing contests, at least not that I can recall, just a bunch of players that were more than willing to help others improve their arranger keyboard skills and knowledge base.

Over the past decade, I've traveled more than 20,000 miles to meet with some of the forum members in person, see how they set up their equipment, see their performances first hand, learn about their marketing techniques, etc... I had the good fortune to shake the hands of Don Mason, Donny Pesce, Dave Boyd, Fran, Eddie Shoemaker, Scott Langholff, Joe Waters, Tony Madalone, Randy (Saxman)Sherwood, Ray Bastianelli,Hank Bowman, Bob Lee, Jimmy (Jimsax) McKinny, and dozens of others. I've learned a lot from each and every one of them and am forever indebted to these individuals for their assistance and friendship over the years. Hopefully, it has been a two-way street and I have always endeavored to provide as much help to them as they have to me, something I've always felt was the basis of this and other forums of similar ilk.

Staying on topic, I sincerely believe the excitement of the Tyros 5 is in it's infancy. I'm confident that this arranger keyboard will provide players with a wide array of features that will ultimately make them more enthusiastic and better player/entertainers. Diki began condemning the T5 before the first one came off the production line, and it's that kind of negativity that has no place on this, or any other forum, at least IMHO. Yes, Diki, I HAVE read what you wrote, and so has just about everyone else.

Good Luck,

Gary
