15 more keys does make a big difference, when you split the whole keyboard into three different zone, for instance.
and for some piano songs you must have them right there.

too bad the original posts were erased, but i got the feeling the poster was not very diplomatic. i am afraid this also atract harsh answers. put aside the real facts...

Adi,
you can get an idea of the original post from the first reply of Chony: the part quoted doesn't look harsh or non-diplomatic.

This is the original post:

Originally posted by Class Act:
After 6 days, I have decided to return the Tyros3... It will cost me 15 percent return fee, but I will be happy to get pass this bad purchase of mine..
Thankfully, I did not sell my old faithful keyboard..

I thought the Tyros3 would have been an improved keyboard, but the PSR8000 sounds much better.It is easier to use ..too.

I would have liked for him explain his thoughts (good & bad) on the T3. I don't think he was looking for 76 keys, since the psr8000 only has 61 to begin with. But I would have to say even though some of us don't like Yamaha and/or T3. One would expect a hugh improvement between the T3 & the psr8000.

Also factors that we don't know:
Did he purchase it on a whim? Never demoed?
Did other financial responsibilities come up?
Did he not want to take the time to learn the OS on a new keyboard? (I’m sure their probably different).


I'm not sure what's going on with CA, I can see why people would find it a little strange down grading to psr8000.

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

What's crazy is how the poor guy gets the label of "troll" or a Korg rep. For Pete's sake the guy returned the Tyros 3 to keep the CURRENT YAMAHA he already has. It's not a Yamaha bashing issue at all. He clearly likes Yamaha.

Is there anything wrong with him sticking to his 8000? This is a keyboard he has been using for some time and is very comfortable with. Look how long Fran held on to that G-1000

IMO.., I would have like a little more detail about what he liked and disliked..., but this poor guy got attacked from the gate. He then removes his post.., and the speculation continues. Anyone ever think he removed it because of how harsh some of you were?

Thank you for your message/post:
"It's about time some of you started writing as if you were face to face with the poster."

I totally agree with you. Especially since the Poster did not have a track record of bashing a Keyboard maker or model in the past.

Thanks for your message.

Right on! Some of us are elitists whether we want to admit it or not. Unfortunately, bashing the opinions of those who differ from us can be a consequence. I'm sure there are many people out there plaaying PSR 8000, 9000, even 2000 and the lower series and are perfectly happy with the performance of that keyboard. Check eBay and Craigslist and you'll find lots of older keyboards still out there in great working condition.

Class Act, if you're still out there please consider joining in on this. Explain yourself and stand upp for what you believe. You'll be surprised that are as many supporters of your opinions (or at least your right to them) as there are detractors.

Class act ponited out that the PSR8k was much more easier to operate for him also then the T3.

I guess the devil you know...

I can understand the allegiance to the PSR-8000 as well...one of Yamaha's best arrangers,,,great in it's day, and still a fine instrument.

I certainly don't think the poster should have been labeled a "Troll"...that's not fair to judge someone so soon.

And maybe he wasn't a "he"...
