After calling all over the state to find the gw8 with no luck I finally came across one today at a little mom and pop music store closde by my house. I only go there to buy my little girl piano sheet music- they hardly carry anything else...

anyways to my surprise the gw8 was sitting there and I got to spend about a 1/2 hour with it.

I wasn't too surprised. The cumbias sound nice but the other styles that I need (merengue,salsa,bachata) sound kind of yucky. Persoanlly I don't care for most of the voices either. My budget line Yamaha e413 sounds lots better.

I'm sure in the hands of a top notch singer/keyboardist it could work well. But I need all the help I can get!

I've been able to find some pretty good Latin stlye files for my Tyros 2. The new "Gran Salsa" and "Cumbia Nova" are pretty darn good. I hope Yamaha continues putting out some more good Latin.

I decided to get a flight case and lug the Tyros 2 down to Mexico. It would have been nice to find something lighter...
