Dave -
No worries, friend. You will never be black-balled in this group.
I believe the term is ostracized. I'm Kidding!!
Actually, I just wanted to say glad to hear positive comments about Casio. In recent correspondence with Norm I commented that I used to be a Casio snob. I'd say stuff like, "They make great watches. Yamaha makes great pianos." or "Casio? Great pocket calculators, but if you want a piano, get a Kurzweil."
But when I saw the 2013 NAMM demo video for the Casio PX5S. The grand piano sounded great. Rhodes and Wurly, very impressive! And a ton of cool synthy stuff.
If I'm not mistaken, Dave, I think the WK7500 and PX5S share a lot of those electric piano and synth sounds. At least that's what I read in one of the blogs.
Best fishes,
Jake
> I also went out and bought the Casio WK7500 which I believe another member of this group owns and plays. I have to say for the money it is not a bad little keyboard.
