Thanks Deane.
I hear you, and I think it should work out for me but the proof of the pudding will be in the eating for me as well. Nevertheless the options are running out. Like I said I could do with a change from Korg (after 12 years) and I do not consider the PA900 (or even PA3X, out of my budget) a huge step forward to the trusted PA800 that I had.
Yamaha has never truly appealed to me with the exeption of the ancient Yamaha P-80 stage piano, which I bought a few months ago and which has given me tremendous pleasure and still does.
After playing keyboards for 25 years and more I thought I would try my hand at the real thing, piano that is. So far I am making headways allright. Still I am getting carried away here.
I will probably get the SD7 in 10 days'time. And like I said I always have a contingency plan
regards,
John
