In a lot of the discussions, we keep hearing about Yamaha�s market research and how they don�t want 76 key good arrangers.
When did that market make a drastic change?
Remember Yamaha did their market research and created the PSR 9000 pro (which was 76 keys).
And, it does not appear that that market disappeared because, other brands continued making 76 keys first when they made their TOTL arranger.
Roland went from the G1000 to the G70 both were 76 keys.
Korg went from the PA1x pro to the PA 2x pro both were 76 keys.
Ketron went from the SD1+ to the Audya both were 76 keys.
Lionstrack started with the Mediastation which was 76 keys.
So persons need to think logically and think where is Yamaha getting their research from and are they asking the right questions?
Or, are they just saying they are not creating a good 76 key arranger because of the PSR 9000 pro?
What gives.
It is simple really...Yamaha's customers indicated they preferred a 61 Key board with a lighter plastic case and did not have the choice. They still do.
The market is and was Organ players who never had 76 keys. Tomorrows assisted living and Moose Club performers may want 76 keys on the Tyros. But then again tomorrows assisted living audiences may want to hear Allman Bros and Aerosmith and Marilyn Manson too. I don;t think Moon River will fly with that generation. Arrangers may have a totally different bent then...or be extinct.
