Hey, my friend, I'd be more than happy to see you wind up with a keyboard you wanted, rather than a specific brand.

I'm very tempted by the Tyros4. The guys in Yamaha head office heard it last month, and they were blown away, and believe me, it takes a lot to impress that bunch.


If I'm not totally tickled with the Tyros4, I will probably buy an S910...I can get my instruments well below dealer cost, so I'm very lucky.

I'm just planning on working home and recording simple arranger pieces and make Cds...the on-board sequencer, and audio to USB recorder, will be fine. as will the on-board sounds...I get a lot of mileage out of an instrument, but, of course, it is my job to know them very well, so it's not such a big accomplishment.

I play very simply...just Left Hand chords and Right Hand melody, although I do make my own styles to suit my own musical style.

I'm not concerned about 61 keys...I have a Yamaha P-85 piano that I can midi to the arranger for those rare special pieces that require a lot of actual piano playing.

It will be interesting to see who ends up with a Tyros4.

Peace,

Ian
