the weight.

that's the MAJOR issue for arrangers.
ever think about why 3k and tyros sell more than other arrangers to actural giggers?(not home players).wonder why MOST of the arranger only gigging forum members has yammies?(not for SMF or mp3 playback )

Cause arranger players need light weight and relatively small sized gear.Especially in USA where everything is more mobile (most people have cars and PA)and playing more than 1 gig in a day is not uncommon.Major Market here for arrangers is Nursing home(older crowd above 65 yr or more) type gigs where in europe is still targeted to popular Dance gigs(with younger crowd)and the arrangers stays in the venue more (I guess).In US younger crowd go to disco and dance with hip hop type music or bars with 3-7 piece band music in general.

that's also another reason where you see younger arranger players(20-30s)when in US in 40 yr and up(most of the young players here are still doing band live music).
