Scott, I understand and appreciate your point completely.

BUT, you cannot play left hand bass very well on 61 keys. Many styles just don't fit some of the songs I do and I use UD's method of just turning on the Drum part and playing left hand bass. Can't do it with 61 keys my friend. So that's two types of music a 61 key keyboard cannot handle; solo accompanyment and left hand bass.

I simply do not understand Yamaha's rationale for avoiding 76 keys.

Such a fabulous keyboard in every other sense, but missing 76 keys. Don't they realize they are pushing players away from their keyboards to the Korg and Roland 76 key models?

Aaaaawwwwwwe what's the use!
