The poll is mostly hypothetical...how many pollsters would be prepared to really ACTUALLY buy an new arranger in first place?
Talk is cheap.
AND...the poll didn't figure in the ones who would not buy a Yamaha arranger no matter how many keys it had.
If you took the total of who wanted 76 keys, and factored in those who are brand loyal to Roland, Korg and others, the number grows less.
Yamaha has more accurate ways of reading the market...their success is the proof...what more do you need?
The slice of the 76-note arranger pie obviously just isn't big enough at present.
