Yamaha is still using the price structure for the CLAVANOVA line with Genos. Huge retail number… High MAP price with a huge profit margin to make the CLAVINOVA dealers (Who will be the ones stocking Genos) happy.

If this really is a new concept.... Open the pricing up in order to sell more units to get it in the hands of more people.

In 1989, my parents got my first car for me… A 1988 Ford Festiva in charcoal... I'm pretty sure our deal was $5500 for the car. Later that year, I got my first "real" keyboard... the Korg M1. I got that for $1600. I guess it's keeping up with inflation 28 years later.
