They are out there keep looking,.....
and also make some calls to
Frank at Audioworks, George Kaye Music, etc,
They might have some demos or trade ins at the store......
you will be surprised at the great deals
you can find on a nice GENOS...
Good luck

The arranger market in the US is so small it hardly registers in sales charts, and taking into account the size of the country the chances of finding a used one from the minuscule amount sold is pretty small.
Go to the main markets like Europe and Asia and you will find they were on sale in the used market a couple weeks after they were launched.

Hmmm ... that's interesting, but I guess the same could be said about any Arranger Keyboard ...

I think I worded it wrong...It seems at least on this forum and PSR Tutorial forum People seem well pleased with the Genos. Not selling them...Harold

No, don’t think so Harold, I know what you meant.

No, I can’t say that I’ve seen any owners trying to sell their Genos on the forums,
which must mean, they’re more than happy with them.

PSR Tutorial is a Yamaha fan persons forum and if you put a Yamaha badge on a cheap Casio they would defend it to the hilt no matter how bad it was, so using this as a benchmark as to how good a Genos is, means absolutely nothing. (Mention any other keyboard and you are held in disdain unless you are slagging it off)
AS to SZ, out of the minuscule amount of arrangers that are purchased in the US (SZ is mainly US centric) the largest majority are Yamaha or Korg these days, so these will show up the most.
Another thing to note is that as soon as Yamaha release a new board, users say it is the best thing since sliced bread, then go on to moan about what it hasn't got or asking what should be added in the next model, whereas with other manufactures instruments the owners just get on and enjoy it. (They get stuck to really get to know it)
A good indicator of how good a keyboard is, is what is the turnover, where you will find a lot of Yamaha owners change every 5 mins or so.

Semi-harsh reality, but this sums up lots of what I've noticed, too. Nicely said, Bill.

Bill, what you fail to consider in your statement above, the vast majority of the members of the PSR -Tutorial site came there to learn more about THEIR YAMAHA arranger keyboards. Additionally, a huge number of those individuals have or own other brands, Korg, Roland, etc... However, they prefer the sound of their Yamaha over the other brands and that's why the purchased them. They're not prejudicial about other brands - they're just not interested in those stupid caparison posts that pop up now and again and for obvious reasons - IT'S A YAMAHA SITE! smile
