Hi Taike: My great grand parents emigrated to the US from Southern China (Quandong Province), but my parents, grandparents, and I, were all born in the US, so can speak only very basic (rudimetary at best) cantonese, and know a few phrases in mandarin. I of course though welcome learning how to speak better, especially mandarin.

Yep, this is what I was advised by my Yamaha Japan connections as well. Taike, curious if other Yamaha arranger models, or other arranger kb brand models are available and/or popular in Taiwan, Hong Kong, or Japan? If so, curious which ones?

Also, what genre of music is most popularly played on arrangers & appreciated by the public in Asia: Pop, rock, jazz, oldies, dance, ethnic, or? Taike, your insight on the music played by amateur & pro musicians in Taiwan & Asia would be greatly appreciated.

xie xie,

Scott
