Nigel & Barry. Thanks for the listen and replies. Barry, It's was not my interest to compare the Tyros2 to the KN7000. Both instruments sound terrific (imho), but each with uniquely different strengths and weaknesses . I only wanted to share my music for 'music' sake alone, irregardless of instrument utilized. Interesting to you hear you say that the style I used sounds 'contrived'. Can you please be more specific?

Scott
