I thought the SF Bay Area was also a decent-sized music market, but I
haven't found one here either. Makes me think something about
California . . republicans . . . conspiracies . . . time to ring up
Michael Moore!

Forget Michael Moore. The real problem here is the HS marketing
and sales departments. Since HS has a limited and expensive product
line to sell to dealers they need to do some incentives to get the
dealers to stock their products. Just because you have a better
clone doesn't mean anything to a retailer...all he wants to know is
how much profit is there and how fast can I turn it. HS is going to
have to give the retailer and bigger profit chunk, some advertising
dollars, free flooring, whatever, to get the new XK3 and B3s in the
stores. You won't sell many of any keyboard unless the public can
see it, touch it, play it....and hear it.
