Those who have played these two instruments,can notice a real difference in terms of key-action? Does Tyros 2 have a more firm, consistent keybed than the PSR3000? Telmo.

------------------

YES!!!! Much Better & they also put weights under the keys also. It's a pleasure to perform with ....

I second that.
Very nice keybed.

Absolutely a difference better on the T2. Also, the 3000 does not have aftertouch.

More significance is the addition of super articulation voices in the T2.

Donny,

You might want to have a look underneath the Tyros2' keybed. There are NO weights that I'm aware of underneath the keys.

If Yamaha gave the Tyros2 weighted keys wouldn't you think they would have touted that fact and put it in their spec sheet on their web site? >>
Well.. thinking about that again maybe not since they didn't put the WAV ROM amount there either. BUT! None of the PRO reviews like Keyboard Mag, etc. said anything about weighted or semi-weighted keys on the Tyros2 did they?

There is a miniscule amount more of 'tension' on the Tyros2 keybed over the Tyros but weights...?

The Tyros2 has a nice feel and is just a little stiffer compared to the Tyros but there is hardly much difference at all over the Tyros in my opinion. Although on the other hand compared to the PSR 3000 I agree that the Tyros2 keybed is much better.

Best regards,
Mike

The keybed on the Tyros 2 does not exist on any other Yamaha product currently in production. As stated in other posts the keybed is much better. As to being weighted...I don't think so. It does however have a different amount of tension, which allow for a slightly firmer feel to it.
All in all a great keybed to play.

Regards,
Dennis

On the T2 I have here, after turning the KB over and looking under the keys I see little grey squares [weights] under the keys leading me to believe they are some kind of weights....or?
Do you own a T1 or a T2? PLease look & let us know........?
What ever it is I love it!!

Hey Mike, I am the one that found the weights on Donny's Tyros 2..Just like Roland did with the XP80 and such..

Donny:

I looked under my ty2 keyboard, couldn't see good enough to tell, "But" hey I found where the rest of my tuna sandwitch went.... .....pose
