Interesting video! My first thoughts were how far we have come from the days when we all worshipped and couldn't wait to own a Yamaha DX7! What also amazes me is how these keyboards can be adapted to so many dissimilar cultural settings.
Looks like this guy may be the owner of the store. What a way to spend the day - watching out the front window while contemplating tax returns, inventory, potential expansions, picking the kids up after school, etc...all the while playing tons of Pentatonic Licks up and down this cool keyboard! Looks like a potential stress reliever to me!
So far, definitely impressed with the wealth of capability in the SX900!

Me too, there was a clip the other day , I think he was using a rumba style, ( the style was listed in clip) it was hardly recognisable, and he was playing a tune from his own culture . Adapted it to suit.

Looking at the guys who are working at store in Moscow I don’t really see anything attractive about their jobs: mostly they are answering questions of parents like “well, and what is exactly the difference between this $300 instrument and this one for $3000?”. In case with me, their job is just to plug in a power cord to a keyboard I want to try, sometimes to put a keyboard on a stand. In a room where someone is always trying a keyboard without headphones, there’s no much opportunity to just play all day yourself. Obviously, I’m speaking about a large store. Small stores can be more peaceful, but I’m not sure that small stores will be selling something like SX900.
Speaking about smiling — is sounds good, but when you actually get to recording your performance your primary intention soon becomes not to mess it up; all flaws are much more noticeable when it’s a recording – that’s why artists often say that something it’s easier to work a full concert live than to make one song in a studio.

But ... a lot of times, 'these errors' sometimes make it into the actual song as well, and they become big hits :-)
