No, Y/R/K products have a strong European and Middle Eastern base as well as their home Japanese market. There are even specialized products for these markets while some products are sold in Japan only (some of us may recall begging for Yamaha's XGWorks to be updated for the US market like it was for the Japanese market - it never was). As with arrangers in the past, the websites, demos and info related to the Yamaha Tyros 2 appeared in German well before English. I believe there is a certain disdain by these companies for the American market. Perhaps it's residual from WWII, perhaps it's part of some negative global perceptions of Americans, I don't know. But it is their real strength in the global market that allows Japanese companies to behave this way.

I have no personal animosity against Japanese keyboard manufacturers, their people or culture. But I do personally feel that my business has gone undervalued and my money could be better spent in the future.
