Still primarily lurking, guys... But this topic is close to my heart.

Doesn't anyone in Germany play PIANO?

Thanks again, George... for all you do for all of us. I'm hoping the price of the 910 will come down when the Tyros 4 comes out. I know the meeting is already over... but in case you have future contact... newer sounding instruments/voices... such as a dobro would really be a great tool for Country and Bluegrass writers and performers.

Sadly, no. I'm just biding my time, waiting for the heaven on earth, peace, love and nirvana to break out on this forum, as apparently, my presence here was the only thing preventing that...

So far, still waiting

Ha Ha...and I'm waiting for the poo to hit the propeller, as apparently your presence here was the the only thing causing it...

So far, still waiting...

BTW...good to see you back, Diki...I hope things are okay, especially work-wise.

Well done George, put me in the "PSR910 + 76 notes" crowd. The 76 notes would tempt me to an instant upgrade, otherwise we could be waiting until my psr3000 expires!

A few 10's of meg of internal memory would be nice but not critical. If not doing sampling that's all you need.

And a Right3 wouldn't go amiss either!

Shucks, that's pushed the cost up again...

As has been said in the past, I don't see that the 76 key issue is that hard to solve, given that the CVPs are arranger keyboards disguised as full sized piano's and the budget 76 key bed has been around for quite some time. I appreciate that there may not be a huge profit margin in the exercise but it would surely attract non-Yamaha players who need 76 keys and would appreciate the easy to use Yamaha interface. If not in the market at all you will never attract possible buyers.

I don't consider the new budget 76 Yamaha "piano" to have sufficient arranger or midi playback capabilities to count as a possibility. Home use yes, pro use no.

Yamaha is so damm stubborn...don't think a 76 is in the cards for now...
Hope I'm wrong..
I ant the T4 to be 76 sure, do the S920 too!

Yeah.... the 9000pro wasn't a big hit (don't recall the 61 9000 being a big hit either, mind you), so that OBVIOUSLY proves that there is NO market for a 76 arranger

Makes you wonder why they even BOTHER with the CVP's, as Yamaha have obviously worked out that NO-ONE that plays an arranger really needs anything more than 61 wanky plastic keys...
