Squeak,

You make it seem like the S-900 series is built so badly, it is going to fall apart within a few days of ownership.

We both know that isn't true.

Used as intended (home keyboard) they are incredibly reliable, and there has been relatively few issues. When the model was first released, there were a few issues, but Yamaha looked after all those problems, and has a very satisfied customer base.

It also has a two year warranty on parts and labour here in Canada, so it's covered in any event.

The S900 is not made to chuck in out of a van every night like a pro workstation, but there are many OMB players who treat them with a bit of care and respect that get more than their money's worth out of the instrument.
