And here is teaser 3

Not sure you have caught his point. Thomann are a major music store and they are selling brand new Genos for a knock down price. So the trade in price would have to be way below this - maybe half or less.

€3695,- /£3280 calling knockdown prices, mmm..?? 10 - 15% lower than one/two years ago?
But may be  it was wrong translated

Great news with your new M8x,

I feel exactly the same on both counts after having my M8x for just over a week now, I hope Yamaha pull it out of the bag with Genos 2 and if they do, my PA5X may very well be sold.


Edit: Unnecessary BBCode "list" tags removed by overover

I think you would be making a big mistake. Trust me. The Pa5x is incredible. And it will only get better.

As the Genos2 probably is too .... or more ....incredible?

Yes, I do understand your sentiment regarding PA5X. It would not be a snap decision, Kong might just redeem themselves with the next update...

So, some careful evaluation with Genos2 vs PA5X will of course, happen.

Hi
Being so close to the unveiling of the new Genos 2, i cannot understand here in UK that there are no pre- orders taken yet as we are so close to Christmas.

[maartenb]

Probably because officially the Genos 2 doesn't exist yet. Yamaha only mentions "2" in the teasers.

I expect Yamaha's embargo on Genos 2 information to end after the online launch on November 15th, and from that moment (pre)orders to be possible.

Of course, it could be for some. It is a personal choice after all, but there's no doubt that the Genos2 no matter how it arrives will be a fantastic instrument.

[tyrosman]

Till now, as I've saw, only some additional leds... but we will see in functions, because I don't see so much improvement in design, which is not a good idea, as long as there was so much complains about those stupid buttons and poor ink quality! Buuuuttt we will live to see the gorgeous G2! 
I'm already starting to LoL, because I've already know the price, which is very big for the improvements! )))))

thats funny you say that you kno the price there is no price as yet nor a px price as yet

[valimaties]

  thats funny you say that you kno the price there is no price as yet nor a px price as yet

LoL yes it's funny, but even so, I know because... I know   

[ton37]

LoL yes it's funny, but even so, I know because... I know   

What more funny is that knowing the Advertisse Price of Yamaha, which will be sky hight,  nobody will in fact pay that. The real price comes out the negociation among the client and the dealer and will be considerably below that price.

[valimaties]

If somehow I will buy the new Genos I don't think I will do it immediatelly, because as we know from the past every arranger came with some missing things or bugs which can make us hard work! And besides, it will be a very big price in the first year, which as we know will slowly goes down after a period of time.
Most of my keyboards I bought them by buy-back, I gave my arranger to my supplier and paid a little amount for the new one.

I will wait and see what is happening...

Regards,
Vali

clearly [the teasers] ha[ve] generated a lot of interest

As of November 9th, 2023:

• Teaser 1: 13,000 views (three weeks old)
• Teaser 2: 8,000 views (two weeks old)
• Teaser 3: 7,000 views (one weeks old)

Is this "a lot"?

The teasers do help me get through the month before the official launch, though.

Hi Maarten

Although I do not like Yamaha's approach, it shows that from Yamaha's point of view there strategy is working.  Maybe we should simply wait until they give us a full picture. I personally do not like being treated like a kid, even though I and fact most of us are acting like one.

Advertising is timeless. From 'old' times (advertising through newspapers, flyers on the street, through the letterbox, etc., TV) to 'new' times (Google advertisement, spam advertising, email and internet) in various forms. You learn to live with it because 'unfortunately' you cannot always close your eyes to it. Fortunately, it's still up to you whether you let it influence you...I hope?
