Donny, we only live once.
Pick up the phone, call Frank and get yourself an early new year 2019 present.
We all know that you really really want a Genos!

nah.. although very nice in many many ways I don't need a Genos, money is not a factor, the differences for MY needs are too minimal sound wise vs the S970 & 76 keys is useless real estate for me, once I was finished editing and tweaking styles & sounds, VH2, etc, the S970 sounds amazing & good enough to do mostly any situation needed..
the shit will hit the fan soon enough when Genos 2 comes along but that is yet to be seen,...anyone remember TYROS 1,2,3,4,5,??
Yamaha loves to repeat and feed players a good thing a bite at a time. That all said...
Enjoy what your playing....dig into it deep, make it sound terriffic, don't let the factory dictate what it sounds like..

Thanks for all the demos. Probably the only way I get to hear new keyboards. I hate to be negative but I don't see or hear anything in that one that couldn't be done on a much less expensive board.
Keep em coming.

Bill that has always been the case...
but people just have to the newest latest and greatest....
go figure..

Donny, for your ultimate punishment, you should be strapped to a chair while someone read you back all of your contradictory posts - of course, that WOULD take several lifetimes .

Your ol' best buddy,

chas

yep Chas the kettle can't get any blacker when I speak half the time,...I talk from the cuff and sometimes regret it,
.....but I roll with the flow buddy,...I can dish it and take it meaning no harm baby!

take care
