Don't respond to this, Ian... just think about it for a while.

If several other companies DID make 76 weighted arrangers, but Yamaha didn't, would you accept someone ELSE'S explanation of this fact as 'There's no demand for them'..?

So to create a segue to poor old Donny's original topic, and to re-iterate...

I definitely would buy a PSR/Tyros if one was ever released with a 76 note keybed

Diki,
Ah Ha...I was not aware of the DGX's, YPG's and NP-80v's products!

YES, YES...you are 1000% right...as I always expected...division rivalry IS the reason. And I think the Yamaha reps know that is it..but are told not to discuss it.

It'a a shame, really is.

I finally understand.

Your nonparticipation on this topic is greatly appreciated!!

Yamaha made a wise decision.

And, if discontinuing talking about 76 key Yamaha arrangers make you feel like a winner, then yes Iana you won. And for that you get a lollypop.

A 76 key arranger with Balanced Weighted Hammer Action would be a failure. The whole point of having 76 keys is to give you more options and to be as versatile as possible. Such a keyboard would not be good from playing other sounds like organ, synth sounds and other non piano sounds.
Also, it would make the keyboard heavier than it needs to be.
Again It is not an issue of 61 vs 76 keys but and issue of big vs small, heavy vs light, compact vs bulky.


If Yamaha makes a good 76 key arranger Balanced Weighted Hammer Action when it fails then they would say a good 76 key arranger does not sell.

If you think other wise, ask Yamaha about sales of the S70 XS.

All we want is a DGX or Motif 76 with great arranger sounds and styles and features.

But because of Yamaha divisional rivalry, it may never happen.

There's only one thing better than winning, and that's getting a reward.

Thanks Genny...you're a sweetie.

People,Please lay off the "Diki-thoust shall not talk about 76keys/tiresome crapla"
What..are we in china being run by Kim chong not being able to say what the h*ll we want now? indeed yamaha is like a terrified school girl who's deathly afraid of meddling with the 76#'s ever again.
If yam was truly wise it would completly MIX
ALL functions together and release the next keyboard as the:

Motros!(Motif&Tyros)

or............"TYRIF"

Or the TY-RiFiK (terrific)
