Ellis Hall and his beloved PSR 2000

It was one of the best mid-range arrangers of its time. I still have my PSR 2000 although it is getting little use now that I have my Fantom G7. At this juncture I think it was a good idea to wean myself off of arrangers entirely, at least for the time being anyway. It gives me an opportunity to increase my playing skills without an auto-accompaniment feature to detract me from doing it. I suppose in 3 years or so I would be willing to give a 76 key Tyros4 a go of it if Yamaha complies and makes one. Or if Ketron ever decides to finally kick the Audya out of the testing facility its at and headed to stores I may consider getting it possibly. They will have to drop the price at least a grand or more before I would consider buying one though. If it takes two or three years before it drops that much in price, so be it. Roland could surprise us with a totl arranger at Winter NAMM 2009. That would mean it would be available by next summer maybe. If it's priced similar to what the T3 is and also has 76 keys I could see myself getting the Roland, all things considered that is of course.

Best,
Mike
