Hi Music friends,
I want to known how it going on with you all.. It is nice to visite your site again with all wellknown names
Do you still enjoy playing your Technics keybord in a good health.
The time is going fast , I am 72 now and still have my Tyros 2 Spent on or two hours a day on music. My health is OK, sometimes problems with my lower back
Keep your good health and with love

Jack

Good to hear from you Jack.

Yes! I'm still playing and enjoying my KN7. I now have the Tyros 3 and whilst I do like playing it, especially for ballads, I still prefer the sharp rhythms, pads and riffs, of the KN7 for dance music. They are totally different keyboards as you will know.

Keep on playing - you cannot beat music for relaxation.

Hello Jack,

Nice to hear from you again I'm one year older than you and still enjoying my trusty KN7000s - Tyros? No Way!! KN7000 rules!

The only problem I have with my back, is getting off it every morning

Jack, you're just a youngster. Some of us are older than dirt . . . Good to hear you are OK.

Bob, Speak for yourself, hmmmm, how old is dirt, maybe you are right. (smile)

Jack, I remember your name from ways back, and yes after a bit of searching I am playing a Kn7000 again. I too live with discomfort – it has become part of my day. I have enrolled in a Gym the best thing I have done in a long time, I seem to be physically improving. I try to keep a positive attitude and in that I feel pretty good.

Stay well Jack, John C.

Best wishes.
Young Joe.

Hi All, You are all youngsters!! I am 87 and still playing my KN7000 and KN2600 so there!

Hi Jack - Nice to hear from you. I still play for my own pleasure but in a more limited way due to back trouble. I have a KN7000 and also Yamaha Tyros3.

Even if you reversed my age I would still be over the hill!!!! I still sign in to this forum every day and like to know how folks are getting on. Take care Jack - keep those fingers moving and best wishes to you and your family. Joan

When you get to our age, things and words take on different meanings. One of my lady friends got a new hearing aid recently. She was proudly lamenting on how she could now hear things that she hadn’t heard for a very long time. I said, “That’s great! What kind is it?" She said, “About ten minutes till ten . . .”

Hi Jack, 72?, you've not reached your prime yet then

I think myself, that playing and enjoying music is GOOD for your health, AND for your mind (keeps you mentally active).

All the best keep wel

I am another of the octogenarians still performing. I use both Kn7000 and Tyros 2. Last night I took the KN7000 to a gig in a fairly large hall with my usual extra amplification only to find when I had set up that the amp had decided to give up the ghost. I had to play the gig using just the internal speakers and it worked just fine. How glad was I that I hadn't taken the Tyros.
My only regret is that I do wish Technics had not built this ever increasing weight factor into the specifications of the KN7000. I shall soon have to consider buying a fork lift truck!!

Keep going everyone

Trevor

Hello "Young" Old Friends, Joan, Young, Joe, Bob,Derek, Anthony, Trevor, Bill, Audry, and all the other Technics players. It it is for me very nice to hear that all of you keep your "good" health and playing still your lovely keyboard. I believe it is a fact, "One song a day keeps the Doctor away " .And Joan you having a special place in my heart.
Happy playing for all of you
Always Young Jack

HI all, as a very young 50 something having worked on Hammond B3,H112,T202 and other makes like Lowery,Farfisa Yamaha and the Technics organs,keyboards and more too many to name. the old working mens clubs and street bars,I have to admire you all for your attitude in still playing and making sure music is LIVE!!!!
Regards John.(53 years) and looking forward to follow your example !!!!!!!

HI Jack
It is good to see you post here again. Hope you are well and playing a lot of great music.
I am no longer active in this Technics Forum as I am playing Roland E 80 and Yam Tyros 2 keyboards. I sold all the Technics keyboards except the KN800 which I kept for sentimental reasons.
Yes, most of the people on this forum are pretty mature. Many evolved from organs to technics keyboards.
Now over on the general arranger forum you read some posts and you will begin to think that they are all teeny boppers with their arguments, egos and Lying and bragging but they really aren't. they are old enough but not mature enough to act their age.
Best to you and yours and all the great folks here at the Technics Forum.
