Does anyone know where I can try Tyros 4 around Indianapolis? Guitar Center (that's where I got my T2) no longer carries the Tyros line. There is a place up north in Indiana called Sweetwater but they do not have them yet.

Also, I will be selling my T2. What is a fair asking price for T2 in outstanding condition?

Thanks!

Just search eBay "completed" auctions and see what the t2 has been selling for.

I tried Guitar Center and Woodwinds Brasswinds in South Bend last week, neither of them had any arrangers from Yamaha.

I did get to spend about an hour on a Korg pa2xpro at WWBW. It was very good but it didn't blow me away. For now I'll stick with the hernia maker the Roland G-70.

Barty, I'm sure some of my T4 customers in your area will love to demo the board for you.

I should have more next week, give me a call and I will try to help you with your decision.

Tom,
An hour...you didn'r even touch the surface of the PA2XPRO.
AND maybe the master EQ was not een on as the default is off. (BIG difference too)

I keep finding out more & more how great he PA2XPRO is the more I play it

If you have any interest in knowing a little more here is a nice tutorial on PA800 (PA2 has some additional feature but the core is the same)

Choose PA800 video tutorial, it is quite good. It only scratches the surface.
http://korgpa.com/pa_root/en/support/tutorials.html

And remember Korg is pregnant right now.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Lee S - yeah that would be cool. I definitely want to check out the board before I make the decision. I can bring my small digital video camera as well to film some stuff for SZ members.

Frank - thank you for the offer. I wish you were closer to me so I could come by your store.

Don't give up on those exercises. You only save about ten pounds moving to a T4.

You want to give your back a rest, go to the S910. You'd drop 20 lbs. playing that.

Diki,

I've thought about selling both my Sd-1 and my G-70. The Yamaha S910 does look very good to me although I haven't played one.

I like the fact that there is a huge library of styles available. My favorite styles of music are bigband and swing and Yamaha has very good styles in these areas. I got some converted Korg styles for the G-70 and some of them are very good but as a whole I've been disappointed with the limited number of good styles in these areas on the G-70.

If I went with Yamaha I'd need to get an external harmonizer because theirs sucks and I'm used to how good the G-70 sounds.

Donny thinks Ketron's drums are too in your face but he never used his arranger in a trio situation. When I had my Tyros I HAD to turn up the drum volume so the trumpet and sax could hear it. That is probably still a Yamaha drawback to me.

So for a while I'll continue my bodybuilding program of lifting adult beverages to my mouth and keep the g-70.

Tom
