Subject:Re: Kurzweil 250

It's pretty much common knowledge that Stevie Wonder was Kurzweil's musical advisor for their early instruments, and press ads for the K250 actually had him stating that he couldn't hear the difference between a 250 and a real piano! Well, possibly on a recording, but not, I suspect actually playing one...

He may be blind but he certainly isn't deaf!
