But it is true that Yamaha isn't necessarily looking for people to sell their Tyros I and get the Tyros II. They are looking to grab the attention of first time customers who own a PSR 550 or something similar and other Brand consumers looking for a high end Board that appeals to them. And I think the most enticing feature on the new Tyros will be the Mega Voices that will be playable in a live situation. And also the Sampler and the nicer keybed, although the keys will be the same width as the original Tyros from what I understand.

This is how I feel as a person who already has a high-end arranger.

The only way I would consider the Tyros II is if it were in a module form.

For 2 primary reasons: 1. I do not want to go through the expense of getting another high-end arranger and 2. I don’t want to carry another keyboard (that is in addition to my first arranger) on a gig. I would not even want to sell my original arranger because I would not want to recreate or convert my custom styles and set-ups.

I think the Tyros II would be good for those who don’t have a high-end arranger and for those who have the Tyros I and see the need to upgrade (obviously they would want the best version of the keyboard).

But for a person who already has a medium to high-end arranger or keyboard whether by Yamaha or another brand getting the Tyros II would not be an option.

But if it were a module they would be more incline to look at it.

For example, a satisfied owner of a G70, unless that person has a lot of money to spend would probably not even look at a keyboard version of the Tyros II. But if it were in a module, they may look at it and may be by it if it is reasonably priced in order to complement their set-up.

It is easier to carry on a gig one keyboard and a module rather than two full keyboards.
