Posted this link some days ago in another post, however I clicked on the YouTube statistics today and was amazed at the audience

If only everything on YouTube were True. (Not sure how they get the results)

You have to also take into consideration the "region". This style of music is a perfect example of the "old fashioned stereotype" we have on arrangers (at least over here in the USA).

The majority of the youth in the US wouldn't be flocking to arrangers based on this video. Many would make fun of it and refer to it as the music "grandpa" used to play.

This isn't young people's music in ANY part of the world.

There are WAY more kids into classical music than you would think, but they sure as hell aren't big into doing cheesy organ versions of it!

Anyway, who's Dad is going to buy a $20,000+ organ for their kid when they could buy a T3 at 20% of the cost and blow it away? Or an S900 at 10% of the price and it STILL blow it away
