It is as simple as this:
Yamaha make smaller keys.
Why? Why???
Steve don't give reasons for it. He only say: "Yamaha has been making these keys all life".
Well, but WHYYYYYY?
If smaller keys have some advantages, why Yamaha make pianos with normal, nor small, keys?. It is a contradiction, IMHO.
If smaller keys have advantages, why other manufacturers don't make smaller keys?
I think to make a lot of keyboards for children is not a reason. Panasonic, Roland, Casio make too cheaper keyboards for children, and have normal keys.
