Again, in fairness, there are two sides to a story and certainly the instrument has a warranty. Right?

Respectfully, it is hearsay, unless it is pointed to an article by the owner or he clears this up or a link.

You can find anything usually on anything going beyond hearsay.

Here is an *owner* publicly and directly writing on the KEYB

Comparing to Hamichord: (no editing)

"I don't propose to discuss it further on here, Im sure the HC in it's latest incarnation is a lot better - like I say, I have had my share of problems with my KeyB."

(would not write problems)

"At the end of the day, I initially chose the HC over anything else, I love the look, I actually like the keybeds better than the KeyB (probably the way they are setup"

The above is out of context though not quite as bad as hearsay, imo. Anyone can write an article slamming a company for whatever reason or chose sentences or repeat something said.

All these companies should be supported. Hammond enthusiasts should be glad there those out there doing this because putting capital in other more consumer-related businesses is more lucrative, less risk and easier. These are usually music lovers taking the pains of the biz. I love the boutique companies.

If an artist leaves one and goes to another it might be considered a bit disingenuous to write negatively about the old company being a fan and perhaps corny. Any prudent thinker would more likely think it is a finanicial dispute/thing than an instrument that alleged crashes but only supposition.
