They were so popular, no one bought them. Or, maybe there's another excuse? If there is, I'm sure you'll dig one out of your little hat.

That's why Yamaha sells all the 61's it can make...they are so unpopular.

Mmmm again, ...I wonder how many Audya and Mediastation 76 note arrangers were sold?

That's why Korg is still doing the 76 note instrument...they have had no competition since Roland bit the dust.

Ian, I do not think for a second that Roland has bit the dust...I think it would surprise folks ..just how well Roland does in the market/products field they are in...

It is almost impossible finding data comparing sales between Yamaha, Korg and Roland...How much product does Roland sell? If you judge by the numbers on EBAY...Roland is king on the hill.. ..and I don't think Yamaha folks are holding onto their obsolete after 6 months gear...because they love them..

Here is a tidbit of info...Do you know that Casio outsells Yamaha keyboards (under $1000...6 to 1)..

BTW:-Yamaha has just shipped out Hogan Osawa (President)..back to Japan, and has brought in Tak Nakata to replace him (from Japan).....maybe things aren't doing as well for Yamaha as you think..
