619.0. "Yamaha and Korg Merger Rumor" by AKOV68::EATON (Impressionable Youth) Mon Dec 22 1986 14:46

	I was strolling around Union Music last Saturday when I thought I
overheard Greg in the keyboard dept. remark over the phone that Yamaha and
Korg just did a merger.  I was unable to ask about it any further while there.

	Has anyone heard about this?  Was I hearing correctly?

619.3no wayJON::ROSSdont shoot the piano player!Mon Dec 22 1986 20:2813
    well, that's far enough after 2 martini lunch
    
    and far enough before happy hour.
    
    Maybe theres something to it, but both companys
    seemed to be doing alright (understatement).
    
    Cant see Korg buying Yam, but not viceverse...

    Yamakorg? Korghama? 
    
    Were being put on.

That's old news, which I reported here over half a year ago.  Yamaha has been 
trying to buy Korg because Korg was weak at that point (they have since come 
back with some new products that have been successful) and they were feeling 
their resources being drained by competing with them as well as Roland.  I 
believe it was all reported on in Keyboard magazine last summer.
