Rosewood Vs. Kelon
Hey... yep yep so which do you prefer...
personally I love the rich and articulate sound you get out of Rosewood...
ofcourse rosewood keyboards cost an arm, a leg and then some...
(maybe thats why I don't own an instrument yet...)

Synthetic is much better for high schools, unless they're willing to have a rosewood instrument that they simply don't take outdoors. However, for concert, obviously, nothing beats the sound of a rosewood instrument, especially an 30's or 40's Deagan.
I rent an instrument from my teacher, which is an old Musser 4 octave. It sounds great, but rosewood definetly does not belong outdoors.

Alright my opinion... yes Rosewood belong indoors and indoors only... when it comes to out doors I prefer Kelon... Yammies Acoustalons (sp) are awesome outdoors...

I believe Vanguard and Phantom Regiment use Rosewood Marimbas outdoors. So I personally wouldn't say they don't belong outdoors. I think that is a poor statement. Try.....Unless you have a load of money to spend replacing keys every year (or an endorsement), you'd be better off long-term with Synthetic. Something like that. Soundwise Yamaha Acoustalons are my favorite of the synthetics. Just my opinion...
