Just checked the "normal" price here, it's approx. N.Kr. 32.000,- who
are approx. € 3800. Pretty low priced, eh?
So maybe a deal will end up around N.Kr. 28.000,- / €3350 if lucky.

Nice to see it handle the styles from ealier models nice. Looks like
I have to move my body into town to see, feel and compare........

Hey Guy, I am new.
The real price I paied for G-70 is the same as the Tyros. 2900 euros in France and not more for a new one! The public price is 3469 euros. Usually the discount is around 15 to 20%. I think that in Europe you can find it under 2800 euros. Let see Germany Music site on the Web.
From Roland, new version of OS will be release in March. I have the version 1.06 that fixed some bugs.

The new keyboards I received here in the USA yesterday are version 1.06
George Kaye
Kaye's Music Scene
Reseda, California

I'm confused about something. Why is it that people can only buy from say George Kaye for example by walking into his store??? Is this Rolands way of keeping the inventory of this unit under control? It almost seems that this practice would discourage sales? I doubt there would even be ANY store in my entire state that would carry this model, and the trip would be hours long just to go see one.

Roland France always says that "Internet is good, but go to the store is better." This is what you will see when connecting in!
Personally, I will never (let says twice, never and never) buy it by the web.

It is incredible. G-70 is a more modern kb, has more keys, better built... how may it cost the same as Tyros? If it were Tyros II..., but Tyros 1?

Precision, Tyros at 2900 euros is at list price. But I would like to say that Tyros is too much expensive regarding its concurrents. When G-70 is released, Tyros price drop down and in promotion at 2900 euros (without negociating for discount). It could be at 2500 euros!

Squeak,
As I understand it. Roland has 2 divisions a "home and pro". It sets up dealers accordingly. A few years back I wanted to check out the VA and my local GC could not get one, yet the GC about an hour away carried them. They could not even do a store transfer so I could play one and the rep would not bring a demo by so I could lay hands on one. Result, I never bought one, I bought the Tyros instead. Go figure.

Im sorry but that was a very inaccurate post. Roland didnt create this board for some person to just mess around with at there home. This is an amazing board, and is marketed toward performers who need the "Best" and have the money to do so. It took more than just a couple of Roland newbs to devise such a board. It may not be for you, but i can guarantee there will be more of these boards sold than you think. Imagine, Wersi, Ketron, Bohm and the Korg Oasys. There is obviously a large enough market for several thousand dollar boards.

Look at the number of Tyros users... you see a lot of people with them. The Tyros is a very close competator with a price tag nearly the same (and roughly 200 bucks for tax *edit* thats for 6% yes 9% is more )
