Gary I always listen carefully when you comment on music matters because it’s usually based upon years of real world experience . But the cost of a top of the range arranger is a real impediment to the purchasing decision for most musicians period . They don’t buy expensive luxury cars or go on Luxury cruises .

I visit many music forums and actively converse with many musicians across the world and face to face in real life in the uk . There is absolutely no question that the price is an impediment to the purchase of the Genos .

Maybe only the richest 1 percent of musicians visit synthzone .

Arrangers are expensive tools and Yamaha typically charge sometimes over £1000 more than the competition for their top of the line latest iteration of mostly the same thing they put out 3 years earlier . They can charge these prices because there are sufficient people willing to pay it that overlap the demographic you described above . But the new market they appear to be after are song writers or people who aspire to be songwriters and producers . The cost of a single genos as a music creation tool is likely to exceed the total cost of every piece of music equipment a typical aspiring song writer owns including their hands !!!! ! Now that might be a slight exaggeration 😁 but you can understand my point , £4500 is a big deal period . Let alone for the average song writer or gigging musician .
