That's the REAL issue here. If we (76'ers)all wanted another brand that has 76 we would not be bitching! We would just buy it and be happy.

Do you think we are hitting on this just to be troublesome, no!

Something to add...in watching some of the Yamaha PRO's demos..they RUN OUT OF KEYS!
I bet you a deluxe taco that they would love to have 76 keys!

no leeboy thats not the real issue. It doesnt matter what you want or the other 7 of you that make up Diki's sample 80% of the 76 key arranger market :-)(i am playing with you both...well with you at least :-)) Its about whether there are enough of you (not 8) who would make additional sales for yamaha alongside their existing mix or make less sales at a higher profit margin for Yamaha the corporation (read higher price)to offset any additional set up costs for the additional 76 key version at lower volume sales. Just so you know, 61 key keyboards outsell all other class of keyboards for obvious reasons to most people .

If you or Diki or anyone care to provide yamaha with hard figures as to the profit they would (not could) make from a survey/petition that demonstrated an additional 800 new 76 key customers chomping at the bit(for example ) , there is no question in my mind that they would seriously look again at their marketing research.

You cant seriously believe that yamaha the corporation is simply 'stubborn' about not wanting to make a 76 key fully fledged tyros product ?

Can you ?????
