Ahhh... the manufacturer rep... The paragon of accurate information, and deep insider knowledge

I ALWAYS believe everything they say, don't you, Ian?

Just find ONE piano that sounds remotely like any Yamaha arranger sampled piano... and I'll show you a piano that ought to be condemned! No, I take that back... the Western is making a comeback. There's GOT to be a need for a bar-room tack piano sound in an arranger (I know there's one of those in a Yamaha, too, but I bet they use the same samples!)

Listen Ian, it's quite simple. You work at Yamaha dealers. Go play a CFIII, then play the S900... If you think there's ANY resemblance, it's not MY ears that need looking at
