no, yamaha has not completely took over the other manufacturer, i don t think it will ever do that.
roland, korg, ketron, etc has their own buyers and dedicated users which won't drop their favorite company that easily.
would be interesting to see what manufacturer has the most loyal customers... might that be yamaha? possible...
as for myself, i never went with the "biggest" producer, be it keyboards, sound equipment, computers, mobile phones, etc etc, but rather with second or third one. and i think that this is a good strategy, is the best area, where's more advantages for the buyer, including the best price/performance ratio.

just my oppinion...
