My last 5 keyboards have all been Yamaha. Only once have I ever had to contact Yamaha USA..and that was to find an authorized repair shop for, what turned out to be a minor problem.

After the purchase of a PSR 2000 they sent me a questionnaire offering to extend the warranty an extra year if I filled it out and sent it back, which I did. That was a nice gesture. It felt good.

And remember when Yamaha USA donated a PSR 740 to Robbie and Ryan, the young twins in need of a keyboard to compose music for films? That also made me feel good about Yamaha.

Over the last few years I have recommended various Yamaha products to two pros and several other hobbyists. All purchased the product that I felt best suited their need and skills.

The hobbyists all offered to compensate me to teach them the OS. It was a snap because they only wanted to know the basics re: music finder, registrations and in one case, making midi files.

The two pros are still playing Yamaha products and seem very satisfied.

I sincerely hope that Larry will end up feeling as good about Yamaha as I do. His dealer sure did not treat him right.
