Allowing persons to be satisfied with their arrangers and keeping their arrangers for 10 years is not going to keep you in business. Like Yamaha, you must make sure they buy a new arranger every 2-3 years.


I am glad you understand where I was coming from.

Not everyone who has a Roland or GEM arranger wants to keep it for 10 years...it would be nice to have a choice whether to buy a new one or not.

Their instruments aren't classics like Hammond B-3's and Rhodes pianos, and never will be. Hammond and Rhodes are still made, but I just can't see Roland or GEM come out with a "new generation" G-70 or Genesys....they couldn't sell the old ones.

There are plenty of PSR-8000 owners and PSR-3000 users, just for two examples, Gary D being one of the latter, who are totally content with their arrangers...but, at least Yamaha's clients have a choice to stay with the great instruments they have, or move on to a newer and more technologically advanced instrument that will still use the styles from the previous generations.

You may or may not agree with Yamaha's business practises, but there is no denying the company still flourishes, and still continues to satisfy present, past and future users.
