No Korgs this year – Muztorg owns a closed booth for dealers. So the folks are fooling around wondering where's the blue suede shoe. Strange. Last year I had a good time trying TR and even the new SP-250 piano was there. Anyway, we go through Jam-Music stand with their CME keyboards, flapping one of those (nice action, that's where to look if we need to).

And there comes an ecstasy – I see black and red instruments, Kurzweil logo (besides them Realmusic also sells Clavia's range in Ukraine). My feet bring me to the stand – and here I am trying K2661, wondering at SP88X (almost an oldie, but it's right in under my hands, what will you do…!).

There are people trying KME, PC161, a bunch of Nord Leads, Electro, keyboards from Fatar - VMK series, - connected to various modules - almost a heaven. But we need more! OK, there's Nord C1 and Nord Stage 76. What a positive vibrations come from the fact you try somethin you wrote the news about! Indeed Clavia makes classy instruments, though expensive.

Travelling through the hall I sat at Kawai MP8 from Odessa's Musical Lavka. Liked the action of this nice looking stage piano and controller. The sounds are also very good.

Well, enough for one day walk. IMHO – there are three things for me – I still love Kurzweil, become a fan of certain action types, and oh boy! So much keyboards at one place - it's fantastic! I want it every month!

Besides your humble servant there was Klerik tramping the expo halls. So we decided to say hello to everyone from KeyboardZ.net community. Wasssuuuuup, fellas!

For all the fotos showing not actual keyboards but also some parts of keyboardists big thank you goes to Irene.
