Of course I may be wrong..(and I wish I was wrong, because the name sits very uncomfortably with me and I do find it slightly insulting) but I realy believe the key to understanding the Tyros Philosphy is in the name. Suddenly you realise why it does not need 76 keys or a hammer action version, does not need to be metal, has to have large colourful easy to access buttons and easy to use features and new models appear every 18 months or so.
ty·ro also ti·ro (tr)
n. pl. ty·ros also ti·ros
A beginner in learning something.
Why in the World would Yamaha name it Tyros knowing it meant a "beginner in learning something"?
Many words that are spelled the same can have two completely different meanings (homonyms)
bank, crop, bear, peer, sink, fritter, pants, slip, slide, dry, fit, class, shine, creep, divide, page, gin, trip, keel, ship, fall, hedge, needle, scrape, riddle, throw,train are all examples of words that have different meanings.
Therefore Tyros may mean "beginner", but it also means "home and pro arranger keyboard"
