I did check on the arrival dates for Tyros 2 at Yamaha's California headquarters.

Looks like early November vs. Late October....

Well, Dan, Will you just tell Yamaha I am in california and not to send my Tyros all the way to Baltimore and then all the way back to California.
thanks Dan

I second Bebop's request.

Danny, any chance you can get Yamaha USA, located in Buena Park, California, to simply 'drop ship' Tyros2, to your customers living on the West Coast? It would save both shipping costs & delivery time, resulting in a win-win situation for everybody involved. - Scott

Wasn't important, so I deleted it.

Yamaha will not drop ship keyboards.
I guess I'll get mine before Dan gets his because I'm only 2 hours away from Yamaha!

Don, I've always considered just about everything you share here, IMPORTANT, so because I didn't get to see it b4 you deleted it, it's somehow peaked my interest.



Hi George. I can certainly appreciate your 2 hour close proximity to Yamaha headquarters.

Interestingly enough though, ther've actually been times that it's taken longer for a package to reach me, coming from across town, than clear across the Country. So much for the the US mail system.

Add me to the list of California buyers who would prefer to have my new Tyros2 shipped directly to me. It seems ridiculous to ship the keyboard from California to the East Coast, then immediately back to California again. Is there any way you can check with your Yamaha supplier to see if they will make some exceptions? I would think they might consider doing this in the interest of customer appreciation and satisfaction. After all, we are their first USA purchases, buying their product before it has even been released. Let us know what Yamaha says.

"Don, I've always considered just about everything you share here, IMPORTANT, so because I didn't get to see it b4 you deleted it, it's somehow peaked my interest. "

O.K., that's fair. All I said was that I love both DanO and George, but if I were in California I believe I'd buy from George, and if I were in Maryland I'd buy from Dan.
Then, after I posted it, I thought that it might be taken the wrong way and I didn't want to stir up anything that didn't need to be stirred!

Hi Don, I can understand WHY you had decided to delete that post later now. Still, yours was a valid question worth answering.

Because I already have my Tyros1 set up & ready to go for upcoming holiday music gigging, and continue to enjoy performing on it as much as ever, I was initially planning to WAIT until AFTER the holidays before upgrading to Tyros2.

In the meantime, I was contacted by DanO who offered me a Tyro2 deal I couldn't turn down. Because my Tyros2 delivery has been promised to arrive 'well before' the start of the upcoming hectic holiday gig season (late Oct/early Nov), it should afford me enough time to get it setup and ready to go to perform with 'this' Christmas season!

I too consider both GeorgeK and DanO SZ buds, It's just not possible to honor your allegiance to everyone you like on SZ. As far as buying 'in State' vs 'out of State' goes, I'm sure you're well aware of the HIGH (especially in CA) upfront tax consequences, when purchasing goods in state. As a case in point, many Californian's living near the border of Californa & Oregon drive across the border to do their shopping.

I Make no apology whatsoever.
My money is spent wherever I feel I am treated the best and that decision is made up from many factors.
