As always George you have given an informative and detailed review of new NAMM products. Thank you so much for letting Yamaha know that there is a big percentage of Arranger players who would prefer a 76 key Tyros2. Keeping it in the forefront of their minds may finally persuade them to make a 76 key Tyros2/3. I can certainly wait three more years if necessary for a Tyros3 or whatever it will be called by then. A 76 key Tyros2 in six months would be nicer yet, but since Yamaha isn't giving any promises I am hesitant to hope for something as soon as six to nine months.

Btw, the people who bought a Tyros2 knew full well that it had only 61 keys when there was not even an inkling or hint of a 76 key Tyros2/3 on the horizon. And for that matter there is STILL no inkling or hint of a 76 Tyros2/3 by Yamaha's very own words at NAMM. To say that Yamaha is doing a disservice if they release a 76 key Tyros2 in a few months to those who bought the current 61 key Tyros2 is absurd. If you wanted 76 keys you should have bought 76 keys to begin with is how I look at it. I for one am holding out. I have a Tyros but I refuse to get a 61 key Tyros2/3. Others have said the same thing but relented. Is that Yamaha's fault?

Also if you would prefer a 76 key Tyros2/3 I'm sure you could sell your current Tyros2 on eBay or wherever for a minimal loss and then turn around and buy the forementioned 76 key Tyros2/3 if Yamaha decides to come out with one in six to nine months.

If indeed Yamaha decides to come out with a 76 key Tyros2/3/etc., at all.

Best regards,
Mike
