Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi - alse a (reltively) new member here.  I am in UK, though 
American.  Was sent here by my company and like it very much.  But to 
the point.  I bought my DTXpress in Atlanta Georgia on my last visit 
to the US in August, and I paid $950 for the kit plus $150 for cases 
to take it home with - a grand total of around £750 brand new. 
Since 
the thing works on DC, and the adapter that came with it was
American, 
I just popped down to the local Yamaha keyboard store in Ipswich and 
got a proper UK adapter for £10... and I am in business!  So the 
prices are not so much different than in Britain, though a little 
less.

Tim
