I don't know how many times I have to post that I don't live in an area where any Yamaha TOTL or MOTL arrangers are sold for it to actually sink in to your obviously frost-bitten cranium, Ian, but let me try once more...

As to your assertion that you don't want to make an audio example because you wouldn't get payed for it, first of all, let me ask how much you got payed for those tunes you HAVE provided? Yep, didn't think so... Secondly, you are not getting payed one red cent (at least, I certainly hope not!) for all your interminable evangelism here, so why object to something that is easier and might, for once, actually PROVE your point? There's no timeframe issue here. It's not like you said you would do one, and I'm impatient. At the very first suggestion of the shootout, you bluntly refused to do one. And yet, as others point out, hypocritically asking for the same thing you refuse to provide yourself.

If only any of your arguments had any basis in truth, you might be able to get away with this travesty, but sadly, you forget we actually have memories. You've provided uncompensated example in the past (just LOVE to demonstrate those 'assembled' styles, dontcha? ) so perhaps you'd like to go back and come up with some new creative ways of excusing your [insert your own self-moderated word for someone with no guts]?

And, for all our other T3 and S910 owners out there, perhaps just ONE of you has a little less vanity than SOME here and wouldn't mind showing us that they can do something that apparently, a Yamaha clinician can't manage..?

Oh, and take your time, no rush...!
