"Yamaha�s �TYROS2� keyboard has been awarded the coveted title of �Best Electronic Keyboard� at the prestigious 2006 MIA (Music Industry Association) awards ceremony held on 3rd October at the Savoy Hotel, London.

The Music Industry Association has a wide reaching membership covering all areas of the UK musical instrument industry including retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers. Whilst many of its members are in fierce competition on a day to day basis they do come together once a year to recognise and reward outstanding achievement in terms of instrument development. Therefore the award is a true reflection of the popularity, success and market leadership of TYROS2 and Yamaha electronic keyboard range.

The MIA award follows Yamaha�s recent sell-out �TYROS2� tour with the internationally renowned keyboard exponent, Peter Baartmans, and is the latest accolade for the �TYROS� keyboard technology after the TYROS1 and TYROS2 models were voted the most powerful keyboards in the world by the international music press.

The award-winning futuristic-looking keyboard offers a huge technological leap forward with the most realistic sounds ever heard or played. Reproducing virtually any sound with stunning realism they are bursting with innovative concepts, are easy to use and true musical powerhouses with a host of new features to satisfy and impress both the home player and the most demanding professional.

TYROS2 features Yamaha�s latest innovation - �Super Articulation Technology� - which has become the new benchmark in voice creation technology. This system creates the most realistic sounds ever heard or played on a keyboard and, when linked to the host of other styles and features available makes TYROS2 the most complete and satisfying keyboard of all time."

Well i agree. It is better sounding than all the other keyboards and synths. Id choose a Tyros2 anyday over even the Korg Oasys which costs an arm and a leg. Well done Yamaha. Your Tyros1 was voted the best and now your Tyros2

The blind leading the blind!!!

And so it all starts again..........

Kind of makes me wish ol' Craig_UK was still here to provide a distraction!

Be careful of what you wish for?????

Why just last night, I was wishing I had a Tyros........it was cold out when I got home from my gig.........and I was out of logs for the fireplace!!

Well then Fran, you should've used your wooden head.......hehehehe

The G1000 would've worked too .

Fran you mean MR WIZARD!!!!

I want to thank Gary for reparing my PA300 AC adapter....as always "I Love You Man"
Now I have one for back up also....

I personally would have voted the 3k as best arranger KB in the last few years.....
but who am I?

PS ....I love the smell of plastic

I have a Tyros 1 that I've used for about the past 50 gigs and it's doing a nice job for me. I especially appreciated it yesterday as I taught a college class in the morning and then had 3 gigs in the afternoon and evening. I still love the G 1000 but it would have busted my ass yesterday.

It should be noted that BOTH the TYROS1 and TYROS2 models were voted the most powerful keyboards in the world by the international music press.

I have to say though that I fail to see how the SAV's make the Tyros2 the most complete and satisfying keyboard of all time. Of ALL TIME??? Really. I'm sure there are keyboardists around the world that would beg to differ with that bold statement by the UK's MIA.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Mike. . .What's yours then?

So this is what you do? Let it go already. Ask something intelligent or say something valuable, PLEASE!!! These guys are playing with each other. It's social inter(net)action. Some of us like this stuff. Don't read or don't comment if it's not your cup of tea.

I'm picking up my VA76 tomorrow..the best keyboard of all time

zuki

Best keyboard of all times... who are baiting?

My votes go to the Hammond B3 and Kurzweil PC88, but who cares.

I haven't played enough different arrangers to have a solid opinion. I liked my Korg iX300 and my present PSR2000, but I know there are many others I would love.

Well, cassp, going by posts lately, some of us don't like this stuff....... Intelligent and valuable - a press award by an obscure trade association?

If this is the limit of our internet interaction, quoting foreign press releases to further our backslapping, doesn't say much, does it? It's getting desperate when we have to look at the English press for confirmation about our purchasing choices...... you don't see many bemoan their choice of keyboard when NAMM doesn't endorse it!

Best keyboard of all time......... Hmmmmm, let me see;

B3
DX7IIS
K2500
CS80
A good Steinway (I know, it's not an electronic keyboard!)
Oasys
Rhodes Suitcase
Clavinet D6
Minimoog
OBXa
(yes, the stuff all our arrangers are trying to COPY.... unsuccessfully, most of the time)

Hard to call ANYTHING with a cheap plastic keybed 'best keyboard of all time' (plus something else next year will get the same title). Too much listening to the sounds, not enough actual PLAYING (or doesn't how a keyboard FEELS and responds matter?)........

Maybe 'best arranger', but best keyboard.......?

Wanna know what can kill a forum? Members (who are) made to feel that everything they post is under some kind of micro-scrutiny and that the board's self-appointed censor and monitor of what is and is not relevant, will come down on them like a ton of bricks if their post doesn't pass intellectual muster. Diki, you're a smart guy, probably smarter than most of us, and I always read your usually well-thought-out posts with great interest......but man, you gotta let the other people breathe, know what I mean?

Gotta go along with cassp on this one.... "It's just social inter(net)action", every post doesn't have to be a pearl of wisdom (although this one is ).

chas

I agree, Chas.

Now, what I find boring is those "I want this...I want that" posts. Do you really believe manufacturers care how often you post about your wants and needs?

What I find boring is that we're "supposed" to only write what others wish to read about. Whether I posted a foreign press release or not, so what? I am not the first one so why make it an issue?

Boring is being frowned upon when having some fun and interaction. Boring is to always talk about the same stuff.

Lighten up!
