After re-reading this entire thread, I'm thoroughly convinced that 99.9 percent of those doing all that bitching and moaning about 61 keys on the T4 WOULD NOT buy it if it had 76 keys and sold for $5,000.

And Michael, you make a lot of assumptions about the consumer market in your post above, especially the remark pertaining to the ratio of pro consumers V/S home and studio players. I'm not sure about that ratio where you reside, but in this part of the world the number of professional, arranger keyboard players are only a tiny fraction of the the total number of consumers. I'm fairly confident that Yamaha has done their homework and studies the consumer market a whole lot better than most manufacturers--that's why they're still around.

Now, for those residing in the mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. who must have 76 keys--DO NOT BUY A PSR OR TYROS SERIES YAMAHA KEYBOARD! And, while your at it DON'T BUY A BOSE L1, L1 MODEL II OR L1 COMPACT EITHER. I don't need the competition.

Cheers,

Gary
