Again, I think it's rather weird that so many here on SZ were crying for a mid-line lightweight 76'er, yet when a good one is made available, very few even as much as commented on it.
TBH, most of those crying for a lightweight 76 REALLY wanted a lightweight 76 Yamaha!
If Yamaha introduce a 76 S950, I'm pretty sure you are going to see the forum poll reflect reality. Just look at the droves who are flocking to the 76 T5, despite many saying back in the day it would never float (or even be made)!
The making of the Tyros5-76 was just as much a surprise to me as the introduction of the chord sequencer on the BK-9 was to you.
I knew quite a bit about the earlier Tyros models well before their introduction, but in the case of Tyros5-76, we didn't get the slightest, tiniest, ittsy bittsy clue, so it may have been a very late decision.
In all likelihood it was to compete with the Korg PA3xPro-76.
What will be really interesting is if the 76'er continues on with Tyros6.
I hesitate to say there won't be a 76 note PSR series...but, if I'm proven wrong, at least there will be lots of people happy over it...ha ha!
