Also there needs to be an addendum to this story and since Danny does not seem to be forthcoming with the update to correct his errors, I will in fairness to Yamaha and the Tyros. This is a post from George Kaye at synthzone and has been confirmed by Dan O and E. coast dealer as well.

Danny,
Your dealer didn't give you all the facts:
Yamaha cancelled all the dealerships last month so that they could establish a newly created dealership of those dealers willing to stock the Tyros, the PSR3000 and the PSR1500. In the past, all dealers could buy a Tyros if they carried the other PSR keyboards. Yamaha has decided that stores should support the whole line of Pro Arranger Yamaha keybaords and not just be able to order a keyboard without having inventory or even knowing anything about the product.
So now, I have received a certified letter from Yamaha stating that on July 1 I would no longer be set up to sell these products and then a week or so later I received another dealer agreement which I had to sign which states I would maintain one to show and one to go of each of the 3 models currently available. I applaud Yamaha for doing this, protecting me, a stocking dealer who has to spend so much time learning how to use and support my customers rather than the dealer who just takes a sale away because he sells it for a few dollars less but didn't have to do anything to get the sale and won't be able to support his customer.
The Tyros has not been discontinued. Only certain dealers were!

My My. A part of a thread from last july where I and my friend of mine was basically called liars for trying to let folks know Yamaha had dumped Tyros. Did your tactics work and enable you to sell all the discontinued ones ?

I'll bet this won't be around long

As I recall, your cry of wolf was that the Tyros was discontinued.

It wasn't period. You and your friend were in error.
So what's your point here, other than to start crap, for your error?

Wow, this takes the cake for most confusing post of the past year.

What are you saying?

Crazy.

You DO know you can buy an original Tyros today, right? Not discontinued at all. Just a newer model came out. Happens every day.

I hope your post does stay around so I can closely follow it and try to figure out who you're mad at and what the heck you're talking about!

Tommy

huh ?? Tyros hasn't been listed in the product list for a long long time.

Accordionist,

A well orchestrated conspiracy can be very confusing. And yes you can still find old stock if you are so inclined

Uhhh, if you say so. Link below taken DIRECTLY from Yamaha's US Product Site:

EDIT:

Furthermore, if you go to the link that YOU provided, click on the left side of the page on Arrangers, you'll see four listed and you guessed it, the TYROS is one of them.

Beeeeeeeezarrrrrrrre.

I have Verizon DSL. Tell you the truth it's all a big buisness crock if you ask me.

In my location Verizon and Charter Cable have totally monopolized the entire area. They have set up so many loop holes and so much red tape that it makes it 10 times as hard for other companies to move in and compete.

I cannot believe the price for Charter cable in my area. You think they'd drop their prices to compete with Direct TV and others.

My wife and I have the Verizon Freedom package and the DSL package together. Our bill for the two is over $100 a month.

As long as "greed" is in the picture the prices will always be jacked and we'll always get screwed in the end

OOOPS!
