This was fun discussing but we are going around in circles with a lot of assumptions being made about Yamaha’s market.

Assuming that the market does not care about keyfeel and keybed but mysteriously cares about 76 v. 61 would not get us any where and help the apologist understand how a 76 key TOTL arranger would be beneficial not detrimental to Yamaha.

In one breath, they would want to say making a 76 key TOTL arranger would interfere with the proven formula that has been working. But in the other breath they contradict them selves and say it is good to change the proven formula that has been working as it relates to sounds and styles.

So to save internet space, I will end my discussion on this topic.
