Hi Lee

See you are posting again. House must be going good.

Anyway, after 30+ years in music retail I am certain that if you include the low end arrangers which Korg and the others don't have, that Yamaha and Casio outsell all the others combined.

Through the years I talked to many of the the top people in the industry to find out they were full of hot air. I think this is the case here.

No offense meant, of course.

I'd like to hear any others in the industry like Ian share their thoughts on this.

I mean think about it. Wherever you go where there are keyboards there are Yamaha and Casio. I can't locate Korg around here if my life depended on it.

Although with all the interest in Korg, I'd be interested in trying one of their post PA80 versions. I"m sure they've got some excellent features, but really for what I like to do the recordings I've heard of regular people playing them vs Korgs factory demos, the sound is not that great to me.

Main thing is though, whatever does it for you.

Best
Scott

I would assume he means in revenue and not per unit sales. I'm only guessing based on the work KORG are doing for the Oriental markets where Yamaha and CASIO all but don't exist at all.

Oooohhh Behave

Scott,
Good to hear from you..wow, yes it's been a busy time with the lake house...lot of challenges...moving from a 3K sq ft to 1K is a big change..but its going ok.

Well, sure where you and I would go..you would certainly see the domination of Yamaha & Casio...but...TONS of sales in Oriental markets (Turkey being one of the biggest)is what tips the scales.

You may be right however if you consider the very low end PSR's etc.

Doesn't really matter anyways...one should play what they like. In my case I do miss some things on my T2 I had and if I could get a great price I would like to have one again...to go with the PA. It would really be nice when I am converting styles.

Haven't had much time to practice...but this fall I hope I will.

Going to visit a KorgPA forum member over in Corfu, Greece in Sept...and that will be loads of fun.
