I was able to play a PSR2 or 3k, Ty1 and Ty2 in quick succession. I'm a 2k / 3k owner. I can live with the rubbery keybed although it's not a strong point of thed keyboard! I thought the Ty1 keybed was very lightly sprung and didn't like it at all. On the other hand the Ty2 keybed was much better and I found it instantly just right to the extent that I could coax some very nice noises out of the SA voices almost immediately. I can't comment on the T3 but I'd hope its the same as the T2. Incidentally I've got 2 Italian build Ensoniqs (ESQ1, SD1) both of which use Fatar Keybeds which are built like brick outhouses and have never caused me a problem. I had an Ensoniq SD1 and played it for years without a problem. the guy I sold it to has been playing it 3 nights a week every since and no problems. I still have the Keyboard sampler EPS16 + and it is also one tough keyboard too. I play the E 80 Roland and the Tyros 2 mostly now days. Bebop _________________________ BEBOP

The SA2 voices on the T3 respond beautifully to the FSX keyboard...definitely one of the instruments best features.

Ian Personally I feel that the T2 and the T3 were way over priced compared to the s900 and now the s910. You clearly got more bang for the buck of the the PSR-S series vs the tyros 2 & 3. I found most of the better sounds, styles and features were already on the s-900, anything more would have just been a waste of money. _________________________ Ketron X1 (Oldie but Goodie)

With the money saved I could have bought a very good PA system (like 2 Bose compacts) or maybe even another mid priced arranger like a Korg PA 500. _________________________ It not the keyboard, it's the keyboardist. www.youtube.com/channel/UCV94i--V-A8kZShmGTKyDOw https://www.facebook.com/elgrupocache
