I guess it's a wait and see thing...Yamaha obviously does not feel the need to make a 76 note keyboard, and whatever their reasons, they feel they are the right ones.

20-25 people on a niche forum that want 76 keys, most of whom wouldn't buy a Yamaha arranger no matter how many keys it had, aren't going to jump start a company into launching a new product, especially when they are already making one that satisfies the vast majority of users...including many pros.

It's not going to be "build it and they will come"....it's going to be more like "show the need, and they will make it".
