I have quite a few customers/clients that call me or email me and want to know when the next new one will be out, and these people are players, not amateur hobbyists.

Of course there are some who buy once, and get nothing new for years, but, if someone is using their arranger often, they are more than likely to want "new" after three or four years.

If it is presented well enough, and the perceived value is high enough and shown to be there, people will buy...that's the value of proper in store demos and clinics.

Certainly, there are enough new and repeat buyers to go around and keep Yamaha in business regarding TOTL and MOTL arrangers...I think the latter's idea of incremental changes is working...we may not always agree with it, but we can't deny it's success.
