---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Mark, I don't suppose the price of the S series has anything to do with the sales difference?...;-] David I. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/17/01 at 8:04 AM Mark Wisner wrote: I wrote; "I agree. For that market, Yamaha makes the S6 & S4 grands. It's a warmer sounding piano. For every "S" piano we sell, we sell about a gazillion of the more aggressive (?) sounding "G" and "C" types. As I write this I hear a great, booming voice proclaiming "The Market Has Spoken"! But hey! That's only ONE of the voices I periodically hear, some of them are frequently mistaken, and maybe this one is too." Dale replied; "Are you saying that I might be the booming voice referred to above and that I might be mistaken? Something was lost in the translation. If your answer is yes how can my (and others)xpeireince be mistaken if it is indeed our collective experience. Am I missing something or are those last four concert tunings making me groggy? I'm curious how many S type pianos are made and sold each year?" My snappy retort; Nah, Dale, you aren't the booming voice I was referring to. What I was trying to say in a light-hearted way (and what I may be mistaken about) is that since there is a wide range of pianos to choose from, new, used, mellow, bright, and everything in between, I assume that folks are buying what they want. And what most people are buying are pianos with lotsa volume and a bright sound. So I conclude that's what most people want. Capitalism in action. As to the numbers of "S" series pianos Yamaha sells, I already told you, one is sold for every gazillion of everything else..... 'Nother words, I don't know...not enough, though.
