There has been undisputed facts that people want:
A lightweight keyboard
A reasonable sized keyboard
A keyboard that is easy to transport
A keyboard that is not bulky.
We have not had facts where persons do not want 76 keys because they don’t want the extra keys.

Look guise, remember when there was that whole discussion about a sampler on an arranger? A lot of persons were saying an arranger player does not need a sampler. Those of us who wanted it were in the minority. One could argue that there was not a substantial market for a sampler on an arranger. But did Yamaha do? They included a “sampler” on the T2. Did that lead to decrease in sales of the T2? No.

The sampler did not get in the way of the regular use of the T2 and it did not bring the cost of the T2 up substantially if at all. Yamaha did that (included a feature on an arranger that they did not have a market for) because they needed a feature to advertise. They needed something new so that the T2 could be distinguish from the T1.
