It's hard to say why they don't contract out.

My job is to do clinics and demos...mostly just helping the people who bought Yamaha arrangers and CVP how to use the different features and functions, and to show potential clients what the instrument can do.

I do stay in touch with head office and voice any concerns or questions.

All I can do is offer suggestions, and I do; but, I certainly have nothing to do with the outcome.

I'm sure Yamaha and Roland are looking at all their options, and constantly checking out the market...I'm thinking if there was anything out there that would make them more profits, they'd be already evaluating the pros and cons.

It's a business, after all.
