In some ways that makes sense, Don. They want a good starting off point, and don't want to be bothered doing all kinds of work, especially if it needs to be ready for a gig (or they are just too darn impatient).

I used to take a basic set of Registrations for each model with me when I did store demos.

However, I think it is such a waste of the instrument never to at least try and do some basic editing.

Quite a few people never go beyond playing the on-board styles and the relevant OTS.

I still do some private tutorials here in Cape Breton with those who want to learn their Yamaha instruments more thoroughly, and, as I said, they really do tend to hang on to the instrument at least a little more than those I described above.
