"Success"..why was it so short lived?


I have a different view than you guys...The biggest reason sales in the US (arrangers)are down...they are not understood by the US players..Some just snub it as a "old Casio", and refuse to try and figure it out...Bringing it to my second thought..I have found the professional musician (average) can not and will not grasp the learning curve needed to succeed with an arranger..

As Diki has mentioned the top model arranger keyboards excel over the workstations in live use..There are no comparison....and my opinion the arrangers match the sound of workstations easily...maybe even exceed...

For my personal use of an arranger, I am just as happy to turn off the arranger, and play just left hand bass, drums, and piano (organ etc)..This is where the "pros" should look at arrangers to meet their needs..They need to get a better understanding of "how" the arranger can benefit them...not just their "Casio" memory..

This also has to be part of the retail store operations..Sales people have to be trained to understand ..what they sell.. use the correct approach to sell these instruments, they can be found to accommodate "any" buyer...
