Very odd isn't it, getting attached to these things! Or maybe I am odd feeling like that !!! It sure is Danny, really perked me up after a fairly stressful last year, getting my new keyboards. I splurged and bought a p121 piano as well. Haha The only keyboard I ever regretted selling was the kn7000 , it was the last of a great series. Everything else was replaceable, with each new model, they just kept improving. Possibly not so much that you were attached to the pa900 itself, but the memories it held for you of playing it. So no, don’t think you’re odd. Haha _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

Yes, I've held on to my technics Kn1000 (although my grandson has it), my Kn6000, my Rhodes, and my Cordovox, even though the last two have not seen the light of day for a while ... _________________________ t.

DannyUK Senior Member Registered: 12/09/99 Posts: 1130	Nice replies from you both about Technics. I feel like I've missed out here because over the years of me switching between companies, I seemed to of passed over Technics (and Roland for that matter), but I've experienced most other leading brands. My dad has a KN5000, he only bought it as a back up because his main board the Korg Pa60 is playing up for a second time after it was already repaired once, but he saw a KN5000 for a very cheap price, it's a lovely board, it looks and feels very stylish and sounds beautiful. I have been tempted to purchase a KN7000 in the past as I've seen them going on Ebay for a very good price, but I just couldn't justify it, I have too many as it is.

Hi Danny, only thing that put me off trying to replace my Kn 7000, was, what if something went wrong with it. They no longer made technics keyboards. Spare parts, trying to get it fixed. If I’dhung onto mine, that’s one thing, but second hand could be buying someone else’s problems. At least with Korg, Yamaha Roland, they’re still in business making keyboards. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

tony mads usa Senior Member Registered: 01/16/02 Posts: 14376 Loc: East Greenwich RI USA	Danny, what Rikki says is true ... When I last needed a key replaced on my Kn6000 it took a while for me to find a technician ... Donny (Dnj) has said the Kn5000 was one of his favorite boards ... _________________________ t.

Hi Tony, during the period that I had all my technics keyboards we lived in Sydney and as far as I’m aware, there was only one guy that serviced them, he actually did house calls. He was in his mid 60’s in those days, 20 years ago, so no idea who would be servicing them now.. _________________________ best wishes Rikki 🧸 Korg PA5X 88 note SX900 Band in a Box 2022

DannyUK Senior Member Registered: 12/09/99 Posts: 1130	Unfortunately, I have this problem with my GEM WK8. It doesn't work well and you most certainly couldn't perform on it at all, the issues with it are endless. If it was difficult to find a technician when GEM were still relevant, it's virtually impossible now. Edited by DannyUK (10/16/19 04:40 PM)

Things like hard drives and zip drives, touch screen and chord sequencer. Key feel. etc. _________________________ www.francarango.com

bruno123 Senior Member Registered: 06/04/02 Posts: 4912 Loc: West Palm Beach, FL 33417	I had to make a difficult decision two weeks ago, I put my Kn7000 to sleep. All three-techs turned away because there was no backup for parts. I saw another Kn7000 on eBay and turned it off as fast as could. For me, after many, many years, Technics is over. Sad! John C. PS, the Yamaha Sx900 in some ways reminds me of the Kn7. Edited by bruno123 (10/16/19 07:18 PM)
