Hi Mary Ellen and others, What about for those who need both? (I think that's a major flaw with this proposal) Still, PK is designed for professionals due to the fact that it is still small (not anymore) and has essential features for pros such as recorders, Bluetooth and others. Cheers, Joseph

It shouldn't be hard to do as everything in these machines is all modular.Also look on the internet and you would find plenty of places to ask for grants for this kind of equipment. Just my thoughts and we practically are there. The Pk was originally designed with the Professional in mind but that thought seems to have gotten lost along the way.
