I wasn't asked, but, arrangers are introduced in Europe before the U.S. because the Europeans buy more of them and because the Europeans regard arrangers more highly than do Americans. "Keyboard Magazine", probably the most popular keyboard magazine in America almost never reviews arrangers. I think they have asked their readership if they wanted arrangers reviewed and were told no. Pro music stores sell arranger keyboards, but the salesmen do not like to touch the arrangers. (Much like the prejudice typist used to have toward word processors.) Obviously, the exceptions are well represented in this group. But in Europe there are lots of Uncle Daves, Fran Carangos, and George Kayes. So the arranger manufacturers address the European appetite for arrangers first. The pattern is that arrangers are introduced first at Music Meese in Hamburg, Germany, during October, and then in Anaheim, California, at NAMM in January. I still wonder why The Netherlands would be first among the European countries.
