And it needs to be said and repeated. Only to the person who is familiar with the instrument gets hyper critical about it. 99 percent of public played music is listened to by people eating, drinking and talking. My mother thinks I play a mean guitar, it's a keyboard.

Our friend Viki who has a Phd in Chorale music and is a dean at the local university came around the corner at last summer's bbq to see who was playing the guitar and flute. The wife had the flute and I had the ketron sd2 hooked to my Roland.

I am hearing better and better sounds. The flute and horns from the Ketron will fool 90 plus percent of the general population.

Perspective....the Chickering grand I played my few lessons on as a kid might sound way different than the SD2 but someone listening while watching basketball on TV in the corner of a secluded bar won't ever know what you are playing, unless they are some sort of musical wiz on pianos. Maybe if you know scales and someone goes low on the Boosend..never mind, you get my drift. Things are to the point most people can't tell....
