To each his own, but I've always hated the black preset keys. They look *very* cool, and it's a great use of pre-war technology to provide something that was years ahead of its time. However, I wish I had a dollar for every time I played a gliss and accidentally tapped the B preset when I was on Bb. Presto: no sound! :-(

Regards,
