Hey guys,
We are all hurting because of what has gone on with the 2000, particularly if we are Yami k/b owners. I for one feel for you guys who have been duped buying a 2000. I do not know which is worse, the initial mis-representation of Yamaha with the upgradeable O/S statements, or their perceived arrogance and lack of positive action to rectify the problem and keep their customers happy. I feel for you Don and I admire your positive faith Dave. I guess that Scottyee has the attitude that works - you know "always look on the bright side of ......"(there's that song again!). At the end of the day, yes, admirers do want the same k/b as what they hear you so well perform with, but....only up to a point. Who needs to be put through the heaps of on-going stress when dealing with the big corp. just when you need them most. Not having any customer service response - let alone having the frustration and dismay, having paid your money only to find that what you have got is not what you thought you were buying. It boils down to the future relationship - of being able to trust your supplier (dare I say business partner)in good faith.
I guess Scottyee, you have the attitude to save us all from total dispair. Now all we need is for Yamaha to show us all a little grace, as they have just done in another matter, and maybe we can all start to feel a little more positive about Yamaha in the future.
Jon.
