Hi there Scott,
You may not believe me but I just sold my trusty kn6000. I had decided to buy a 9000pro, I have always liked this board and after playing it properly at my dealers fell in love with it. So my mind was all made up. When I played the Tyros it has made things a bit more complicated I really don't know what to do now. If I want the Tyros I will have to wait....he does not get them in to actually sell for a while yet and even then he has pre-orders to fill first. Already having sold the 6000, this means I will have no board for however long it takes. I play every day and yesterday and today have been bad enough without a board!!! I know I have the piano but it just is not the same!
Soooo it looks like I will opt for the pro but am trying to hang on maybe a week at least to make sure I am doing the right thing. One thing is for sure though.....I am totally sold on Yamaha keyboards at the moment. I have played the KN7000 and whilst I like it (and it is a great improvement on the 6000/6500 it was not for me. I know I will get flamed for this so I will state now that this is ONLY my opinion but the 7000 is simply not in the same league as the Tyros. I thought the tyros fresh and new whilst I thought the 7000 was more like reading a classic novel,...brilliant, thouroughly enjoyable but you know that you were there before. (Just my thoughts mind!)
best to all
Tony
