"Hey Bob....are you the President of the company yet? You should be. You just sold me another pro keyboard,(Roland Fantom G7). You got it to me before the rest of the discount dealers had theirs! I guess that is what sets you apart from the others...number one customer support. I also got this keyboard less than your competition. That's 3 for 3 now! My two keyboards I bought from you last year are doing fine. Yamaha Motif XS and Tyros 2. Thanks for all your help in making this experience a enjoyable one, as usual. Brad H"
