Kawai Synthesizers

Thanks for the suggestions, Ben & Joel.  I'm not hooked up via
computer to the K3, funny how people automatically assume that
nowadays, I'm still making music the old fashioned way. I know
it's not resetting because none of the presets are even close to 
sounding like what the factory patch list says they should.  The 
low C key is kinda wobbly & I'm wondering if it's not making good
contact.  My poor K3 was gigged by a previous owner, I'm glad it
works as well at it does.
