"I still don’t understand people that require their keyboards for gigging and making their living jump on a new keyboard like a child jumps on its christmas presents."
This is some great advice. I haven't always heeded it though, and sometimes it will bite you if you jump too soon.
Yamaha does have a good history of having things ready to go when the models are released though.
Yes, yamaha has the best record in buiseness by far.
And yet they have nor clean sheet.
Just to give an example..
Over at our IT departemnt
When there is a new windows version
It takes atleast a year before we install it
Just let others hunt the bugs.
And i put auto update off on my apple devices
Just to give it a few weeks, and see if there are any major problems
And the same goes for keyboards.
Just wait a month or so before software updates
And 6 months before buying.
And i am not even a gigger.
(also you get much better deals 6 months down the road)
