Hi YamahaUS1 ,

I have been looking at the `S900 and had a chance to try 2.

The first one the rubber buttons would stick and the second one the rubber buttons worked , but had very little tactile feedback.

It truly is the best " bang for your buck " as far as A/KB`s go.

I have also played your new Motif XS6 , and found it to be of very high quality , with very good action.

So my question , if I may , is :

Why not build an A/KB with the keybed of the Tyros / Motif with real button switches with plastic coverings like the Motif and Tyros ?

Yamaha sells the `S900 for X amount , I for one would gladly pay the price of a Motif XS6 for the S900 if it had the same quality ( ie: plastic buttons / with switches & FSX keybed )

To me that would be the perfect keyboard , not too big , but quality , something you could play without worrying your going to break something.

The Y2K thru Y3K all had plastic buttons covering a membrane contact surface , bad idea , but that is history.

Yamaha can`t change the S900 now , I realize that , however is there any hope in getting an all-in-one arranger keyboard like i mentioned.

Thank you for your time.
Gary
