In case you missed it: “The persons who will buy a Roland G70, Pa2x pro, Audya 76, MS are not the same persons who will buy a lightweight compact Yamaha 76 key arranger. The Yamaha arranger market is primarily the home player. The other brands are targeting the semipro and pro market. And for the semipro and pro market looks and build quality are very important. Why do you think the G70, PA2x pro, Audya 76 and MS are constructed the way they are? So if Yamaha were to add a 76 key T4 they would have to build it like the Roland’s and Korgs and like Yamaha said, it would not be worth it for them to do that. It is just too small of a market for them to venture into.”
When Roland went from the G1000 to the G70 and when Korg went from the PA1x to the PA2x notice they did not change the build quality. Do they know something that we don’t know?
BTW There will be persons who have a G70 or PA2x pro but still buy the PSR S with 76 keys, because it will be a back up keyboards. It will be their “quickie” keyboard.
Diki and I both realize that a TOTL 76 key Yamaha arranger would probably not do well at this time. It is more the MOTL segment where Yamaha could improve. And one of the reasons for this is price.
