Takes me back to the old discussions in the Technics Forum.

I loved my KN5000.......I couldn't fall in love with the KN7000s
Sunken Deep Keybed which for me was too restrictive
on each end while playing especially while swiping and having
my pinky cramped in. I will admit it did have terrific sounding onboard speakers...wonder what would have been if the series continued with a KN8000,KN9000, etc. today..?

My very first arranger keyboard was a Panasonic. I paid $135 for it at the local music store, it had just 30 styles and voices, of which only the piano and vibes sounded OK. When the PSR-500 came out I thought I died and went to heaven - 500 styles and 500 voices OMG! And, it only cost me $500 in the local K-Mart. The local music store said at that price, he could not make a profit. Amazing how times have changed.
