Now, don't misunderstand, Scott. 2000s are being sold off and the 2100 is the replacement. I'm sure it will still be the best "bank for the buck" in its price range. But upgrading from a 2000 is not a simple slam-dunk decision. The 2000 is already a great keyboard so the incremental improvements may not be worth it. That said, I've got my 2100 on order and will be able to provide more accurate comparisons with the 2000 when it arrives. Not only do I want to keep the psrtutorial site current with the latest keyboard, but I've had my 2000 since they were first introduced and I'm about ready for an upgrade, particularly a relatively inexpensive one.

Hi Joe

I understand, its just that the comment struck me funny. Really, looking at a spec sheet never did much for me, its when you can play it yourself, or if someone else like one of us does a review of their impressions, thats what interests me.

I have a suspision that the PSR2100 is going to sound a bunch better, (hard to believe actually), as the PSR2000 is an incredible instrument period.

I have tried the Tyros and it is excellent. I'll bet though we as hobbyist and/or pros the differences in these instruments is more important to us than the general public. I would be willing to bet that the average audience would not know the difference say between the PSR2000, 2100 or the Tyros.

The only thing though is I think I need a hard drive. We know that can be done on the Tyros, as far as the PSR2100 I don't know if anybody really knows for sure yet do they? I emailed Yamaha to see if they could resolve that question for me.

The other possible option is the memory device that Beakybird is going to get. Its supposed to work on the 2k and 2100 plus a bunch of others. If this does work then the 2100 then becomes very inviting sounding.

P.S. Joe, your site is terrific, its just keeps getting better. As I am not a great book learner, your simple instructions has helped me many, many times. I believe your site was the decideing factor of me getting a PSR2000 over a PA80 ( what a nighmare their owners manual is), so keep up the great work, and maybe you ought to ask Yamaha to put you on their payroll, and have your website listed in the papers one gets when they purchase their keyboards. Not only are you a great help to those of us who already own one of these, but I am certain, Yamaha has sold a bunch of keyboards because the customer saw your site.

Beakybird is going to transfer $197 into a Ukranian bank account tomorrow. The estimated time of arrival for the device is 3 weeks - if it is sent. I know I am taking a gamble.

Apparently, there will be no other external storage option for the PSR2100. The storage system that I am being sold looks like it replaces the floppy drive with a flash drive. I was shown a picture of the device. It doesn't make any sense to me. I will report back to you when I receive the device.

Sounds like the German didn't come through with the merchandise? But this is $100 cheaper if I remember correctly, as I've been watching your posts on this with great interest.

One thing I would recommend. Open up a new bank account for this transaction only. That way nobody can take out any more than you want them to.

I hope this works out for you. I suspect that it will. Especially if this guy knows you post on this and other forums, and that he should get more business from the USA if you give good reports.

Is this the first device with the external cord going to a control box, or is the second one you discussed where you will need to get a memory card and has no mechanical parts. I have been trying to figure out how that would work. Does this one not have an external control box?

Also, if you have the time, would you mind emailing me the photo and any specs you might have? I'd really appreciate it.
