They aim for the home player and hobbiest (even though the bastards price one of their semi-pro keyboards at nearly $1,500), and it (in my opinion has a build quality of a cheap $200 Casio).
You're right on with that comment. Can't understand why they build such cheap quality in a $1500 board. What I'd like to see is something the quality and build of the CVP 307 Clavinova but in a portable version. Can't understand why they won't. I sometimes use on gigs as a controller a Privia 400 that cost me $700 and it's built like a tank. Sure I understand there's R & D costs and more expensvie electronics etc. in the arranger board vs. the $700 Casio, but I think Yamaha can do better. I know they can cause I've owned 2 Clavinova's first the CVP 107 and now the 307. When I look at the pricing of the new Tyros 2 vs. Clav 303 or 305 tells me " The bicsuits ain't comin out with the gravy."
