The only thing that is keeping top model "arranger workstations" from being on top of the sale charts....is education..

I know first hand...the vast majority of "pro" players..do not have a clue the value a TOP of the line arranger board..can be for them...Some folks are just snobs (totally their loss)..others have misconceptions about today's arrangers...and the vast majority, don't realize they exist..

We are talking about a retail industry..that sales people in large retail music stores...know nothing about arranger keyboards..so how are the working "pros" going to be educated..

It always amazes me....when I see talented "pros" that struggle to make music with "workstations, or pianos"..and are clueless how benefiting a top model "arranger" could improve the caliber of their performance...I am not even talking about full "Style " play..I am talking about the convenience, and choices that a top arranger allows a player..

I posted an example the other day...saying I was going to set of multiple keyboards on the job...like the "good old days"...and true the result could be obtained ..easily by a single top arranger...

I have seen countless times at our Musicians club here in the Philadelphia area..where some members try to show the great benefits of arrangers, or harmonizers, or new designed PA's.....Most Pros, are just comfortable in their uneducated world...and this problem is the lack of sales we see now...

The reason I keep mentioning top models..I believe the quality of top models, helps lower the concessions that most pros would miss on lessor models..like quality built, better keybeds and key bed range...and less short cuts to get around on the board..
