Very interesting the Yamaha T4 still holds top place and the Audya same price as the T4 rated at 17, people still buying T4 after all these years, I can feel a 5 coming anytime soon, then the forum will come alive again.

The Audya 5 @ #10 doesn't count?

Interesting as the other big retailer in Europe (Music Store) has the Korg and Audya on its top seller list but not the Tyros 4.

List here

In other news for those that don’t keep abreast of the Music side of things, (Arrangers are a miniscule part of the musical instrument market) DV247 is now owned by Music Store. (Yes, another British retailer is now in foreign hands)

Thanks Tony and Billy...it's much the same here in Atlantic Canada with the Tyros4 still selling very well, even though a Tyros5 is due soon. In fact, I helped a guy last week with his new Tyros4.

I was told Tyros4 sold better than Tyros, Tyros2 and Tyros3 put together which is, as Henni always says, "AWESOME".

The province that allegedly sells the most arrangers is Quebec. Strange, but they also lead the way in white grand pianos.

Thomann do not sell Roland arrangers at all... Kind of hard to take this 'ranking' seriously when one of the major players isn't even included.

Thomann do sell all the Rolland Arrangers, as does Music Store, so it’s perfectly valid.

Bill

Not listed on their website. They sell Roland synths, though. But apparently, only the Juno Gi.

Look under 'Entertainer' keyboards, where the other arrangers are... no Roland's at all

The Roland arrangers are in the Home Keyboard section, not the Entertainer Keyboard section, which is probably why they are not in the list.

Bill

Diki,

I think you have been well and truly Abacused, still the Roland range would be bottom of the pile certainly below Audya

Strange the Roland BK-9 ended up in the "home keyboard" section...didn't something similarly as stupid happen with Roland's G-70?
