Technics KN7000 Peter Hayward

I know we have KN 7000 fans out there, this is for you.
This is a first for me, I have never seen Peter playing a five octave keyboard before.

Hi Brian Lovely instrument. I have the pleasure of owning one which I purchased from Jon D many years ago. I don't play it as much as I would like having got the Tyros 4. Must try and make an effort as it has some wonderful sounds and styles. A friend of mine who lives near me has a one. He played the clubs for many years and can almost make it talk. He has Technics running through his veins and is not a lover of the Yamaha. A few of our club members have Technics from 3000 to 6000 and are equally impressed with them. If Technics were still making keyboards I wonder what they would be like using Usb instead of sd cards. I think they would possibly dare I say it be better than the Tyros. I am sure there are lots of other owners with similar views.John

Hi John,
Yes you are right, Technics made some brilliant instruments.
The GA3 organ is still highly sought after.
As far as I am aware, on his other gigs, The Blackpool Tower organist John Bowdler still
plays A GA3 to this day.

BrianD and JohnT,

Here's another one by Peter Hayward on the KN 7000. The blurb underneath says:

Peter Hayward selects a couple of the onboard musette voices, to perform a popular (1942) accordion piece - "INDIFFERENCE" - by Italian/American musicians, Antonio Murena and Joseph Columbo.

Hi JohnT,

You say you bought your Technics 7000 from Jon D many years ago. Is Jon D in your North East Keyboard club? And looking at the picture of his Profile on TDP .. which is Jon D?

Hi Hugh Yes JonD is a club member. The photo is Jon on the left and I think his grandson. He may wish to be that age. Jon is a great performer as you have heard on the site. I think he misses the Technics. John
