If Yamaha didn’t invent this key size, who did?
Why do they always have to copy from others?

Quote: “Yamaha has remained true to this standard for over 30 years (probably a lot longer). It's not shrinking, and it's not changing”.
Too bad! Being stuck in a rut is a terrible thing.

Now Dave, good thing you did not bet the farm. Maybe my theory about the fingers, and other things getting thicker, still holds some water. I don’t think senility has anything to do with it. You are still very sharp. Let’s look at it. You were younger when you had the 9000 and had no problem with key with. Now that you have put on a year or so in age, among other things, you now have a problem squeezing in your fingers to match the same key with. Better check. Bill’s suggestion of moving over to an Italian made and Japanese designed board might just be the answer. As he pointed out with his opera singers example, every thing seems to be a little bigger over there. Just trying to help.
