Mark,

I don't suppose the price of the S series has anything to do with the sales
difference?...;-]

"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.
