I supposed that’s one of the reasons that arranger keyboard manufacturers don’t put their arranger in certain stores. They want to make sure that the sales people in the store can and are willing to explain the capabilities of the arranger keyboard.


Most keyboard stores today just concentrate on synth workstations and don’t have a clue about the latest arrangers and their enormous capabilities. (As illustrated by the topic starter).

I think even if a store just sells synth workstations, they should be made aware of other type of keyboards by the brand manufacturer they are selling.

Like with other professions and fields, one should always keep up to date with what is on the market even if you are not directly involved with it. So someone who sells just synth workstations like Yamaha, should know that Yamaha still makes PSR key boards. If not any thing more, it increases the sales person’s credibility and shows that the sales person knows what he or she is talking about.

On the other hand, if I went to that store and the sales person told me that Yamaha does not make PSR keyboards (and I know they do), I would not trust the sales person even if synth workstations are what the store specializes in.
