And you aren't?

You're the one who bought the G70 thinking it was a pro keyboard.

Tsk tsk, I say again.

Are you sure the nurses know you're using the computer?

Ian the Home Keyboard Player...and proud of it.

Yamaha arranger sales are 20 to 1 in germany vs. usa. Why would they listen to American customers any way ?

For me, I can't see why having extra octave (76 vs. 61) would be a hinder to any one ?

Me neither, Dan...but the marketing mavens at Yamaha are keen on waiting till the time is right to introduce a 76 note arranger.

They don't seem to want a piece of a piece of pie.

Can't blame them.

Ian

Yamaha DGX205 have 76 keys .. $299.00
DGX203 same keyboard at Sam's Club $229.00
Why buy 61 keys ?

Why not?

Ian

When considering a piano has 88 keys, 76 keys is closer to being musically correct.

An arranger is not a piano...DGX instruments are digital pianos with arranger features....so are CVP Clavinovas.

PSR and Tyros2 are designed to be more portable...hence the 61 note keyboard and smaller footprint.

Ian

but don't you think the tyros is a lot wider than it needs to be ?

Probably...I never really fancied the design...too many sharp edges as well...that's why I use a PSR-S900(also because it has on-board speakers).

Perhaps the T3 will be smaller.

Ian

And did that affect the sales of the Tyros? No. So you see you are agreeing with me again.

If you keep this up, I may have to start another topic so we can have opposing thoughts.

Common misconception: 76 keys has to be heavy and not portable.
