First off, I don't know if this is the right place to post this?

Anyway, I have not read the magazine in a Loooonngggg time. So today, I decided to pick up a copy. I was surprisd to see that, it is thinner then it used to be, or how I rememeber it. It's nice to see more articles on musican's and tips, and less ad's. I was tired of seeing all of those ad's for softawre based samples, sounds, software synths etc...... My copy does go all the way to page 72. Anyway, love the new lay out. It just may make me re-subscribe to KM again.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the kind words. It matters tremendously to us that EVERY reader gets something good out of Keyboard, every month. That's as challenging as ever, given that you're not imaginging that it's thinner than it used to be. Less ads is a direct result of the current economic situation that's affected everyone in some way or other. On one hand, it means we have to be thinner. On the other, we often have more opportunity to fill the pages we have with great content.

Thanks again for subscribing!

Hi Stephen,

Well, I have now read the June and July issues, and enjoyed them both very much. I never really read any articles in the past. mostly the gear reviews, or blurbs of stuff. Here and there. Then I stoped getting the mag, until this past May. Now with the magazine being smaller, and with articles that are really more appeling. I find myslef reading the magazine more, then I did in the past. Of course now, I only glance at the reviews of gear, and read the other articles instead. Mainly becuse I can not afford new gear. Plus, I do not want to sucumb to Gear Lust. Been down that road once already.

Paul
