The first time I played an arranger I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It's an awesome instrument. And I own a 6' Yamaha grand piano and I've had B 3's. But my arranger is a whole orchestra. And I don't know about your budgets, but mine won't pay for me hauling around 20 or 30 musicians wherever I play. The arranger does that job for me. If I heard that starting tomorrow they would no longer make arrangers, I'd buy a couple of spares to last me through retirement. Long live arrangers!
