Most of Tyros buyers are in their 50's, with a fair amount in their 60's and over...they have the time and the money for higher end arrangers, and they are the ones who tend to be on the forums, and who are the most vocal.

Most of my S910 users tend to be younger, and more than a few also play guitar or another instrument.

I have to keep track of these things, as it helps me gear my clinics a certain way.

The biggest problem we all have, is competition from other kinds of media.

Maybe the arrangers as we know them will die out and be replaced with some other kind of keyboard instrument, just like the organ was replaced by the portable keyboard.

I hope Roland get back into it, as competition benefits us users, and it's nice to see how far these instruments can be developed.

I do know the Prelude and GW-8 are off to a very slow start, according to what I've been hearing in the stores...and, I do know the PSR-S910 is selling very well, at least in my district...the Tyros3 is still doing pretty good too, but a bit slower since the introduction of the S910.

I still think Casio will be the one to watch this year.
