Bachus,
your post is right on point. My wife and I visit the UK at least once each year and while there we always attend two of the Yamaha club music events. During the past 6 years we have made dozens of great UK friends all of whom are elderly people and all but a very few who are not gigging musicians. They are not very concerned about size or weight but are very much into the sound produced by the Tyros lineup. Many of these people have played Yamaha products be they organs or keyboards for decades and are walking Yamaha encyclopedias. A few of the folks we have met are in close touch with the UK Yamaha people and seem to have input into what happens with future keyboards. We have always been treated like royalty on our visits, have learned a lot, and always look forward to our next visit. By the way, the events are now being held in Skegness.
