Yamaha would be making a huge mistake not bringing/presenting the new arranger during Summer NAMM 2012. I live in the southeastern U.S. The music stores here seem to be becoming more "guitar focused". I don't exactly understand the trend...especially considering we pianist/keyboardists "make the band"!!! If you have a little music theory and the right arranger keyboard, you don't even need the band... LOL
Back to my point, I want to salivate for months over the specs of the new Yamaha arrangers...and I want details. Yamaha needs to get music retailers excited about this keyboard too. I can't remember the last time I saw a new Tyros in a music store. Music retailers should be catering to us too!!!
Arranger keyboards can be hip and cool, all without costing $5000. A few new styles and new sounds wouldn't hurt either...
