Compare the reduced cost of Flat Screen TV's, computers, cell phones, etc. back then to now, and compare it to the increased cost difference with electronic keyboards, and one has to wonder why, IMO they are so overpriced.

$4500 for a keyboard? This isn't a new invention folks, and thus should not be priced like it's new technology.

So to answer your question, based on electronic chips, memory, and components being really cheap compared to 1990... YES, Arranger Prices have really gone up.

BTW...please direct me to the $3200 T-4. confused


I totally agree with you. Look how cheap new computers cost these days compared with 10 years ago. I think a reasonable price for a totl arranger these days is about 2000 Euro not 3200 Euro what a PA3x cost or 3500 Euro what a T4 cost. These prices are ridiculous.
