The persons who will buy a Roland G70, Pa2x pro, Audya 76, MS are not the same persons who will buy a lightweight compact Yamaha 76 key arranger.

And there I was, thinking you had actually READ this thread...!

I WOULD buy one, if offered. I want SA sounds, I want Mega guitars, I want an arranger for background gigs, and I don't want to pay Tyros prices!

I could make the Yamaha 'sound' work for me, but I can't make the 61 do the same. Much of my playing is piano based, and 76 is a MINIMUM I am willing to work with. I probably wouldn't take it out for band gigs, but put me in a solo position doing light cocktail and dining music, I can't think of a better axe than a 76 S910 (or DGX910!).'

And thats just the begining diki. Even amongst the few that said on this forum they wanted a yamaha 76 key arranger you cant agree on what kind of 76 key arranger the market wants !!

Its all very well expressing what you want in an arranger but its only when you talk to other potential buyers that you may discover that your view of the 'gap in the market' you think yamaha should plug may not be as large as you think or the same as the guys that agreed with you in principle !

Thats precisely why you need to conduct a proper survey and get more opinions on the 76 Key arranger market that you think is so profitable.....other than your own.

Even in your small sample of 10 , 8 wanted a 76 Key yamaha arranger and of those 8 ,1 thought the 76 key arranger market might not buy precisely the product you say you would !!

And i would guess that within that remaining group of 7 there would still be quite different visions of the 76 key arranger that they all said they wanted .

I doubt yamaha will make the PSR76 910 or PSrfantom XF (pro) for TTG and a YamahaPA3XZ (pro with speakers) for me etc.

Just which 'gap in the market' is yamaha supposed to fill ?????

You dont have to convince anyone here about what you think the 76 key arranger market needs. Convince yamaha !!!
