You know, I am going to post this until Ian FINALLY manages to acknowledge the sentence. Right now, NOTHING he posts makes any sense unless you pretend that Yamaha DON'T already make 76 arrangers and 88 note ones...

BUT THEY DO. Ian, for the love of God will you stop pretending that they don't..! Yamaha have made 76 and 88 note arrangers for YEARS. They have a whole DIVISION dedicated to them.

You see, it's easy to make the argument that there shouldn't be a 76 Tyros if you are trying to hogwash us with the assumption that there are no 76 arrangers that Yamaha make. But sadly, they DO. They just make really BAD ones. So, the horrible truth is, you are not trying to excuse that Yamaha don't make 76 arrangers. You are trying to excuse that they make terrible ones. For your assertion that Yamaha have done their market research, and concluded there is no need for a 76 arranger, they would have to STOP making the ones they do...

My assertion is that they need to make GOOD ones, not START making them at all.

BTW, you better get down on your hands and knees and thank every single MUSICIAN that ever said 'NO' to the way things are... Or you would still be playing the clavichord and harpsichord. Those that aren't satisfied with the status quo are the ones that improve things for those that are.

I am going to KEEP saying 'NO!' to your absurd assertion that Yamaha have no need to improve their current 76 and 88 offerings. But please remain content with mediocrity in those keyboard sizes, you marketing God, you... After all, who wants Yamaha to be the best at EVERYTHING they do? What kind of a marketing strategy would that be?
