The KN7000 is one great keyboard, I agree. But if you compared your KN7 with the Tyros 2 (I presume it was Tyros 2) it did not get a fair trial. Once the EQ is set up on the Tyros 2 you hear a different keyboard, the comparison is no longer chalk & cheese, more like “Cheese and fine cheese”.

My concern is for those who are thinking of changing to a Tyros 2 receive a fair opinion. I have had a KN7 and a Tyros 2 in my home and the comparison is apples to pears, they’re different, both having fantastic features. My only regret is that I should have kept both keyboards, but I have one of those intellectual minds, which usually leads me astray.

Hi John
Fair comment,but you will note that I added that it was only my opinion. I am also a lover of the type of music that you praised in your earlier post, so I guess my reasoning was similar to yours. I think that anyone wanting to decide between different boards HAS to compare side by side, if possible for a few days at least to weigh up the pro's & con's of all facets such as sounds, rhythms, ease of navigation & editing etc before making a decision.
I note that you say your intellectual mind usually leads you astray. Funny that, my impulsive mind does exactly the same thing

Hi Sandgroper,
It is so nice dealing with a gentleman – and yes I still feel the same, unless you are willing to spend a great deal of money there isn’t a keyboard out there that will play the kind of music I love better.

I had a man offer to trade me his KN7000 for my Tyros 2, a senior. Now you must believe this – I tried to talk him out of getting rid of his KN7000. Ha ha ha
So there is where my love lies.

Wow,
Reading the comments here about the KN7000 reminds me of the good old days when I said the same think about me TRS-80 Model I Radio Shack Computer. That was about 8 computers ago. As many of you know I do not own a KN7000 and I traded my KN6000 for the PR54 piano. It has many of the sounds and features of the KN7000 but not some of the better ones like the SD card. Still I don't foresee trading it in until something REALLY new comes out. For now I just keep looking for more styles! It helps keep it new although finding new styles whether new or converted from a Yamaha is getting more difficult too.

Heather, No more Kn keyboard, I didn't know.
After meeting you at the forum I thought you would still be with Technics.

I got off the ship and got back on again.
For me the Kn7000 fits the type of music I love.
I did not know that until it was gone.

Heather,

Good to see you posting. Been a long time. If you remember, you are the one that enlisted Dan and I to assist you in forming the first Florida Jam in 2005. Thanks, it has been a ball.

In researching this topic on the forum it appears, John C, also spear headed the event.

We are now known as the "Florida Keyboard Convention" and membership is growing. March will be our third year and it is open to all keyboard players.

Happy New Year

There are now some brilliant keyboards around, all of which I would like to own if I had the space (and money), but nobody has yet made the perfect keyboard. I think, for most types of music, and the ease of use, that the KN7000 came closer to this title than any other. Had Technics lasted to produce the KN8000, this would probably have hit the jackpot. I could shed tears when I think my KN7 won't last for ever and will never part with it whilst it still works.
