Sorry, Nedim, Take another read of my post. Slowly.

I never said that the US is the largest arranger market. I said that, with all the wealth over here, it is POTENTIALLY the largest market. But until arranger manufacturers start addressing OUR needs as diligently as they do their current, most successful markets, it is NEVER going to grow...

You can hardly expect Americans to start using a product that doesn't meet their needs, just so that, in the future, the manufacturer MIGHT get around to it. Remember the 'Field of Dreams'...

If you build it, they will come.

They sure as hell aren't going to come until you do...

The failure of the arranger market in the US has nothing whatsoever to do with American players. We have the same number of fingers, toes and ears as players anywhere else in the world. The failure lies SQUARELY at the door of the arranger manufacturers, who appear to be more concerned with pandering to small niche markets that already exist, than trying to address the needs of what could POTENTIALLY be their largest market.

God never worried about the 'chicken and the egg'. He simply made the egg. And the chicken followed.

If arranger manufacturers never even TRY, the chicken will NEVER appear. Sure, it costs money to make the egg. But there's a boatload of people buying keyboards in the US. Don't they want a piece of that action? Basically, the US share of the arranger market will never grow, until the arranger manufacturers make something that they like.

The ball is in THEIR court, not ours.
