Fran, Donny and I went to see the psr2100 today, and although I still feel it lacks any real "key feel"....it DOES seem to have a slight advantage over the 2000.
Is it possible that the new units have a more solid "bottom". They both feel light and spongy, but the 2100 seems to "land" better at the bottom of the downstroke. Maybe there is a better keypad under the key, and the spring action is the same. Maybe the new units are just tighter and they will loosen up with time. Maybe I am imagining the whole thing, and they are exactly the same. Who knows?

Anyone notice a significant change in feel after playing one for a while?

Fran bought one that will be delivered on Wednesday. I give him till the weekend to tire of it, then it will probably makes the rounds to me...then Donny...then ??????

I am very surprised with all that has been made out of the key feel 0n the 2K that the Yammeister did not change this entirely on the 21K, When I played a 2k once considering it, I thought it had absolutely the cheapest key feel I had ever played. And I passed on it for that reason, could not even get into it enough to really try it I hated the feel so much.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?.... I could use a backup

I was in the music store yesterday, playing a PSR1100. The key feel was exactly like my 740 so they're probably using the same key technique which is to suspend the key at one end and use the natural springiness of the plastic. Also played a Triton - much better and more positive.

To me the psr2000 fits perfectly. I had a lot problems in 740 using touch response. No matter how much I trained, it never sounded good. Allways one note here and there came out louder or were very quiet. So eventually I played without it.

But when playing a real piano, no problems. And in psr2000, no problems.

Key feel is in my opinion very good, or at least much better than in 740. It´s not a piano but good enough!

Hey Bryan,
There is a guy in the Buy & Sell selling a PSR2000. He is asking way to much for a used/discontinued PSR2000, so you would neet to negotiate him down, but here is a copy of the ad (if your interested):
"YAMAHA PSR 2000 synthesizer $1650
(416) 569-8195". It's in Canadian dollars folks. I think $1350 would be a more reasonable price.
Star

Anything over $1000US is still WAY too much for a used 2000. You can get new ones for that.

$1350 Canadian is approx $974 U.S.
Music123 is selling a NEW PSR2000 B Stock for $900 U.S. Not sure what the landed cost would be here in Canada.
