It was more like "ignore" than silence, Diki...I would have figured you were smart enough to know the 76 note arrangers that Yamaha do make, aren't for pros...and that fact, doesn't make them "not good"...it just makes them not good for your needs.

We sell a fair amount of 76 note home piano/arrangers...the 88-note weighted action models sell far better, and both do have their dedicated following...all home users.

Roland made many mistakes marketing the the E-60, and G-70, but that wasn't the only reason they didn't sell.

In the G-70's case, it just wasn't "portable"...in the E-60's instance, it just didn't have enough features for the pro, and too many for the amateur (plus, the semi-weighted 76-note keybeds on both, weren't appealing to those whose primary instrument was piano).

Neither instrument's purpose was focused enough.

That's why Yamaha's DGX series do so well...they keep it simple, and don't spread themselves too thin.
