The April/May edition of Yamaha Club Magazine is now arriving at the homes of a whole new group of subscribers… the Genos owners. We’ve seen a big increase in the number of Genos keyboards being registered and, of course, the magazine is adapting to reflect this. There’s still plenty though for Tyros (which is still the strongest group within the membership) and we don’t envisage that changing any time soon.
