Thoughts on Yamaha/Genos/$$$ - 02/17/18 06:14 AM
Regarding Yamaha products and $$$...Yamaha is pricey....doesn’t seem to matter if it’s an instrument, an outboard engine(I have one..new over $10,000) motorcycle or what have you.
Yamaha seems to get away with charging more than the competition and folks still buy. Looking for a bargain? To my way of thinking, don’t buy Yamaha.
Genos price vs. Korg, Roland, Ketron and others? To my way of thinking Yamaha is by far the priciest for what you get.
So(for what it’s worth) why have I owned 6 or 7 Yamaha arrangers vs. others?
Support, community, quality, sound and availability. There are two music dealers within 50 miles of me that specialize in Yamaha instruments...no Korg or Roland in the area.
One example
Last night, I was arranging the song Jumbalaya on my Genos. I like a Cajun style(good one on 4X) and really couldn’t find a good one on Genos. Thing is, I know that either Yamaha Musicsoft will produce a Cajun style or one will eventually come from somewhere in the Genos community.
😊
By the way, there is great help on this forum, no matter what brand you own.
