There, I had my tea...mustn't rush these very serious posts.

Now...where was I?

Oh yes.

I agree with you, Chas.

Also, it's quite obvious that the Tyros2, the S900, the G70, the E-series the PA series are all HOME keyboards...they ALL have "easy play chords", "One Touch Settings", and "auto-accompaniment"...all features of HOME keyboards.

In my opinion, other than a VERY small percentage of pro users, the MAJORITY of arranger buyers just want to come after work, sit and play and get lost in some music...or have something to fill up their time after retirement....but, the main goal is to have FUN.

FUN sells...FUN is profit.

The big three know this and exploit it to the max...why wouldn't they?
