Hey Nigel maybe you can help me, or someone else can.  I have noticed that when I visit  music stores to look at keyboards,  I am usually steered towards Yamaha?  I have been often curious, as to why?  
From the SY-22 all the way to the Motif?  Is there anything particular about this company?  Roland has come in second sometimes, but not often.  Never KORG.  I did have Alesis, but mainly Yamaha.
