I agree Capt Russ, equipment won't make you a better musician but if you're good and have good equipment then you really stand out above the rest.


Common person is use to seeing Casios everywhere, so they associate arrangers with toys right of way. I bet every yamaha arranger owner here has had someone at some point during a gig say " My son has one like this at home" or, "These are great, I was thinking of buying one to play around with", it's our fault that arrangers look like toys, because you keep buying these temporary models, the manufacture knows this so keeps putting out arrangers with cheap components, instead of something that is well made with great features and sounds that you can keep for awhile, upgradable and programable. Is it cheaper to keep spending 1200-1500 every year or spending 3500-4000 and getting an arranger that is top notch, one that you can keep for years to come. You tell me?
