Aidan Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Sorry to have to share that Peter Baartmans, Yamaha’s ultra talented and exuberant Genos and Tyros demonstrator, has passed away. Peter was out on the road demonstrating Genos 2 throughout Europe only a few months ago but apparently had an aggressive cancer of which he was unaware. As well as a being a brilliant musician at home in many styles of music, Peter was a great communicator (speaking many languages fluently) and a genuinely nice guy too. A big hole has opened up in the Yamaha family. RIP, Peter. 5 Quote Studio: Yamaha P515 | Yamaha Tyros 5 | Yamaha HX1 | Moog Sub 37 Road: Yamaha YC88 | Nord Electro 5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawai James Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 RIP Peter. My understanding is that he was immensely respected within the industry.
