I don't think we can expect much at all this year. Yamaha has a replacement for the current YPG635 called the YPG645. The picture looks like there is a slight cosmetic change and maybe a few new buttons. There is also a replacement for a portable PSRE413 call the PSRE423. Yamaha has just changed the MAP price for a YPG635 from $899 to $799 beginning Feb 1st.
I don't expect anything new from Roland based on conversations I've had with Roland sales reps, but maybe Roland will surprise us. Korg hasn't said anything but they just released the PA50sd which is the same PA50 that used to have a floppy disk and now has an SD card slot. They've also released different ethnic versions of the PA500 the past few months.
Ketron is not going to attend this NAMM show.
Casio will showcase their new Privia Series and their home versions which I believe are called Celviano Models. There is a version of the PX130 and a version of the PX330.
