So I don't think the argument is specific to Arranger keyboards and Yamaha, this seems to be an industry trend. That's probably why you won't see ANY 76 key arranger keyboards at a music store; let alone high priced arrangers like the Tyros 4; they are just to expensive to stock and / or they don't sell well.


the thing is Kbrkr everyone that actually has a finacial interest (ie could lose real money) wont take the risk of stocking a product and using floor space on a product they struggle to sell. Go to any music store and try and see how many arranger keyboards there are on display. Any arranger keyboard. Then look for shops that stock 76 key arrangers.... You might be looking quite a bit longer....

Its only the people who have no finacial interest (ie cant lose any money) that are insisting that if someone else risks their money they will make oodles of profit .

Go figure.
