Diki,

I don't know how/why you think I'm against Yamaha making a 76'er...I've told you several times that I'm all for it, and I have sent in many requests.

I'm merely passing on the message I received, and re-stating your position.

Obviously you believe corporate restructuring is the answer, and, somehow, I think you realize that may be beyond your influence.

Again, I raise the curious reluctance of Roland to make the GW-8 a 76'er...since you state that particular market is, "The one last uncontested market segment...!"

Yet they chose to make two 61 note versions of the same instrument, even with all those old unused E-60 keybeds cluttering up the factory floor.

Do you know how long this thread would have been if those with absolute assuredness of their proposal had merely done a proper survey or poll?

A lot shorter, and a lot more useful.
