My faux pas, Squeak, I was just going on the topic's title...I did not realize that Roland had increased prices on some products as well.

The question(s)really cannot be directly answered and can only bring speculation, unless, as I said earlier, someone has inside access to Roland, Yamaha and Korg marketing departments.

If all you are after is hypothetical replies, and musings, then the topic is fine.

Hard answers, however, will be difficult or impossible to obtain.
