Another excellent post, Spalding, and a fine job of bringing reality back to this thread.

You mean excellent speculation.

Miden,

Have I read this right you said you had a MS I thought you were over the moon with it. I was going to buy one maybe not now.

Tony that is the second time you have attempted to draw a response. Sorry but I don't think there will be one forthcoming.

Once again, I'll repeat it (for those whose memories don't extend much past the last page or so of this thread):

Of the ten 76 players who DID respond to the question (or at least to a more broad question of whether they would buy a 76 Yamaha PSR or Tyros), eight of the ten WOULD. And that is DESPITE having some previously reported reservations about the keybed or sound.

You see, just like whatever you are currently playing, we are ALL prepared to accept certain limitations to get the arranger we want. You think I'm HAPPY the G70 is so heavy? But I play it nonetheless! You think I'll be HAPPY the keybed on the 76 S910 (or DGX or whatever Yamaha decide to CALL it!)? Of course not. But I'll still play it! And as to the sound, well, as I said, for background restaurant type gigs, it's actually maybe a better fit than the punchy Roland one I have now. Plus, it's a more 'pure' arranger than the G70, and that's what I'll be solely using it for.

So, you see, just because we can find fault with an arranger doesn't necessarily rule out actually using it! At least I am honest enough to admit that there are things i WOULD like better on what I currently use, and should I ever get a 76 PSR, I would STILL be honest enough to say that the keybed COULD be better (unlike some here). But that won't rule out me using it.

Every one of you, if you drop your defensive dogma, can probably find SOMETHING you'd prefer improved on your own arranger. But you still play it. Allow us the same right, eh?

Keep beating...at least the flies get a workout.

Companies need proof, not guesses.

You want...you prove.

Keep baiting... it's all you are good for!

But this thread is headed for epic status if you think this tactic is likely to end in some kind of concession from me.

Hey, I'm not baiting at all...I'm just responding with the facts...you know, the things you're overlooking.

I'm all for them making a 76'er, but, the reality is, they must have more proof than a few people on this site saying they'd buy a 76'er.

I'd like to buy another old Caddy, but does that mean I'll actually do it.

Talk is cheap...yes, you say you'd buy a 76 PSR, but that's only what you'd like to buy...sometimes, the reality is that other things just might be more important...you certainly do not need a 76 PSR...you just want one if the conditions are right.

Probably the same for most of the others.

No company would start production on a new model based on the amount of evidence shown here on SZ.
