Hi Andrea (Dreamer). I remember Tyros1 had 1st arrived in Europe around that time (month) 3 years in Oct 2005, finally hitting the shores of California (USA) in late November 2002, with mine among that first US batch, so curious if your prediction is based on some new knowledge of inside information you've gained recently. - Scott

You should probably be happy with the PSR3000. Dano's website is keyboardcity.net.

I want to give you real good advice if you are in doubt which keyboard is best for you. One word "GUITAR CENTER", large national chain that allows 30 days money back. They should have all those keyboards you mentioned and they will do price match also.

You will not know whether a keyboard is right for you until you actually try one for a week or two. There's just too many things that can displease you. I changed 5 times before settling my final choice and then finally someone offered me a used one for much cheaper and returned the keyboard to GC. I felt bad for GC after trying out their KB but if it were not for the 30 days policy, I would have ended up less happy.

For example: what if I can't split the keyboard ? what if the piano sounds bad ? what if the registration does not work the way I like it ? etc, etc,etc,

Get a Tyros or a mistake!

Great information, thanks!

Which of them. 1 ou 2

Hi Ondo,

I was faced with the same decision PSR3000 or Tyros. I chose the PSR3000 even though money was not an issue. For me the extra dollars were definitely not worth it. I believe that Yamaha will come out not only with future generations of the Tyros but even a new PRO version to comptete with the G70. Heck I am still wondering if the G70 will be my next board? I cant wait to try it.

Whatever they do, It will take you that long just to learn and exploit the greatness of this fantastic PSR3000 keyboard. By then, the next generations will be here and you will be able to make a more informed decision on upgrading.

If I was in your shoes, I would ABSOLUTELY spend my limited funds on a PSR3000 and invest in a good set of speakers or studio monitors. It makes all the difference in the world.

Good luck, happy playing. Russ
