' They know that persons who would buy a 61 key would also buy a 76 and the persons who would buy a 76 key would buy the 76 key arranger.
A profitable business strategy that Yamaha and its believers don’t seem to understand.'

Ok Genesys. I cant say any more than i have already. If you had read the last four posts i made you would see that your statement makes no sense in reality to what the arranger market actually does as opposed to what you might think it would do.

The Roland 76 key arranger sales are poor whether they be the E50 or G70. Thats what the market actually indicates about real demand for 76 keys (its not an absolute fact, its simply an indication).

Sales of the Korg 76 key pro are better because it has a fully fledged synth/sampler and would sell well whether it had 61 or 76 keys. These features separate it from the home market and pro arranger communities in a very significant way.

If a manufacturer added a feature to the keyboard that costs no/minimal extra, did not increase the weight, size or reduce the function of the keyboard and you could either use the feature or not as you wish, tell me using your own common sense why you think it might affect the keyboards sales negatively ??????????

Thats why adding a sampler was a no brainer for yamaha !


Anyway it was fun discussing with you nd everyone that posted. I wont repeat myself.

Thanks so much for the polite and respectful way you have conducted yourself in this discussion. Cheers
