This is a bit of a strange topic, but here goes.

(As others perhaps have experienced this?) Where I live, the economy is booming. I have friends that have the $$$+. My friends would have a blast with an arranger.

Buying a Tyros is like buying something fun to play around with...no big deal price wise. They are used to paying several thousand $$$ for something they can use...even if they don't need it on a daily basis.

Some of these folks play keyboards. Others, like me, are stringed intrumentalists, play stringed instruments...could play a keyboard with some help.

I'm trying to get them interested in arrangers, because, like me, they could learn and grow and have a great time.

Thing is, when I mention an arranger, even a PSR S443($250) their eyes glaze over. It has buttons, it has programming.

It isn't the cost...the cost is peanuts compared to what they pay for other things. It's the complexity....the programming.

Suggestions?
