Guys I certainly didn’t intend to start a conflict about Roland and Yamaha but I was ask by Telmo to compare the two keyboards. I have only had the G-70 a few days so I cannot give a reasonable comparison, but I will say that Scott hit upon a truism about Roland there is much more support for my PSR-3000 than for my Roland I guess the reason being there are more Yamaha users than Roland users. I live in a large metropolitan area and could not find a G-70 to try I was told that it was a marketing strategy for Roland that only certain types of music stores could carry the G-70 this type of music store I don’t frequent.

I will say the G-70 has many good features and sounds very good but Roland needs to understand as we say in the south (you catch more flies with honey). I was going to sell my 3000 and Midjay but have changed my mind and will keep them both. Being from Shreveport Bossier and having worked on the original Louisiana Hayride my heart is in country music, so far I have found this is an area Roland falls very short on. I must say Roland has nice Big Band, Hip Hop, and Rock styles so I hope there might be some good country styles out there that I can use.
