'80% of the 76 market is nothing to dismiss so lightly. But Yamaha ARE. No other company makes 76's as a loss leader for their other arrangers. ALL of them make a profit. Why Yamaha doesn't want a piece of this (the larger piece, from these figures!) is one of life's great mysteries.'

You cant be serious Diki !! Did you just extrapolate 80% of the 76key arranger market would by a 76 key yamaha from a poll of maybe 10 people who said they would buy a 76 key yamaha on this forum ?

If you made that as a serious statement then your credibility in terms of your business acumen is shot to hell. You can critiscise yamaha's business strategies all you want but you cant convince anyone with half a brain with figures like that. If yamaha made their business decisions based on the logic you just demonstrated they would be bust in a week.
