Diki believes that Yamaha's corporate structure is too inflexible to allow them to make a 76'er.

So, in effect, he is saying he believes they can't make one.

Then, he asks Yamaha to make what he just said they can't make.

Now, let's pretend he is right.

Do you think Yamaha will restructure their corporation because of the posts here on SZ?

We have no real data to show how many actually want one, other than the poorly done poll and a few posts by people who wouldn't buy a Yamaha no matter how many keys it had.

Now, let's say that the reason is what was stated by the reps...one speaking to Diki and one to KingFrog...that reason being the market isn't big enough/important enough to warrant a 76'er.

Do you think Yamaha will set up production of a 76'er because of the posts here on SZ, most of which were made by people who stated on other threads, that they wouldn't buy a Yamaha no matter how many keys it had.

No matter what we choose to believe, the end result will be the same.

Only real way to solve the issue...Spalding's suggestion is the best so far.

Since Diki has spearheaded this campaign, he should do the survey....Yamaha has already done theirs.
