OK, I'll give it a listen, as best as I can.

Unfortunately, here in Phoenix, Guitar Center is not a good place to 
listen to much of anything. It is far too loud and congested there, 
and their keyboard room is, for practical purposes, not isolated from 
the other departments. To make matters worse, all keyboard customers 
are crowded into one little demo room, so even if there was the 
possibilility of auditioning an instrument without the adjacent 
guitars and drums encroaching, the other keyboard customer(s) at your 
elbow will probably be competing with me to hear their instument. As 
a result, I've never bought anything that makes acutal sound there. I 
used to buy all of my stuff at Synthony Music, who displayed 
instruments well (and know something about them), but regretfully, 
recently went out of business.

Sam Ash, who recently opened a store here, seems a lot better and 
more condusive to instrument demos; too bad (for me, anyhow) that 
they are not your local dealer.

Well, I'll try to restrain my crankiness and stop by GC and have a 
listen.
