Nice to see these home keyboards used in professional situations...just sold a PSR-S900 to a single performer....guitar player who sings and plays along with SMF.

OK, no harm done. I have edited my post too

Kind regards,

The Tyros is certainly easier to transport from living room to child's bedroom and back again. That much is "correctomundo". But the E-80 is better built to withstand being transported in and out of vans and venues. Do you see?

I can see you don't mind lugging around a very heavy "home" keyboard...that's "correctomundo".

I played and spent some time with the E-80...I don't think it's better built, but it is most certainly much heavier than the Tyros1 which is roughly it's counterpart....it is no where near the Tyros3 in sound or build quality.

Do you actually gig out with the E-80? That thing must weigh a ton in a road case.

Your child has a Tyros in his/her bedroom?

Cool! Congratulations.

I can see why you rely so much on smilies in your posts. No one who has given even a cursory examination of the build quality of both instruments side by side could argue this with a straight face.

I am sure no one will diss an arranger who hires someone to play for a night. You would be surprised to realize how many people don;t even know the quality Arrangers even exist, I ALWAYS demo an arranger to anyone looking for Home Recording equipment. I cannot remember when someone already knew what they could do for a song writer hobbiest with home studio over a Workstation.

Even those who come in looking for Motifs were not aware of the capabilities of Arrangers regarding making 3 quick layers and left hand separate sounds, Splits and generally on the fly sound creation. In the Roland G70s case and the Korg one would not suspect anything is different from any workstation Keyboard.

The Yamaha's are giveaways with the Tyros big square lit up buttons and 61 keys. Especially the speakered 900's, until they are heard.

The smilies? I just didn't want to hurt your feelings about the E-80, as you probably own one and have the need to defend it...so I try to let you down easy.

You really don't actually gig with one of those do you?

Maybe it's just parked next to your child's Tyros in the bedroom?

It weighs no more then a good set of QUALITY Speakers, Amps, PA, etc which you can easily roll into the gig on a Rock N Roller cart.....

man when does this pissin contest ever end?

How do you get the Rock and Roller cart up a flight of stairs, Donny?

That must be fun...

The E-80 weighs 50 lbs without a flight case...that's even more than the G70.

You won't use a G70 because of it's weight...that's what you've told us here on the forum.

Would you use an E-80 for gigging?

Ian

One Two Cha Cha Piss...I give up.....Ian go play with someone else...btw your insistent Yamaha delusions don't fly with me..
