By now there would have been atleast a hint.

My guess is that if we don't hear about by July, it's not going to come out this year.

I'm happy with the S910 for now for most things ...what's the rush?....when Yamaha is ready they will release it .....most likely if they follow suit the S920(?) will be a trickled down T4 version
let's see what Summer NAMM brings us......or even Winter NAMM 2012.

The main reason I thought there would
Be a s920 this year is the time frame
Between tyros 3 and 4 which is 2 years
Instead of the usual 3. Anyway I only
Intend buying such a keyboard next year
So its fine...but the anticipation of
Knowing what features it will have...

Just look at the Tyros 4 features I'd say you'll have many of them or at least a few in a new MOTL arranger and maybe a few that even on the T4 too...time will tell.....meanwhile enjoy what you use and make great music with it everything out there is more then capable for sure.

I did a keyword search on this forum searching for any mention of the S910 two years ago or more, and there was nothing except from someone guessing the name.

So it looks like there's still time for something new to come out this year. It would not surprise me if the earthquake in Japan delayed things, so it's possible that the keyboard was supposed to come out this year, but won't until next year.

I have not heard a word about any new PSR models.

Same goes for CVP Clavinova, which are usually introduced at the same time as PSR.

Beaky may be right about the earthquake, but everything seems to be on schedule.

I think there are two basically different types of people who are interested in this question.

I'd guess the vast majority on this forum are existing PSR users who are quite naturally interested in the next model, some quite keenly, but it really isn't a matter of serious concern.

The other type, of which I'm one, either doesn't have a keyboard at all and is looking at what is available or has a fairly old one, possibly a different make altogether (this is me), and is considering a replacement. What the manufacturers are planning is of much more serious and practical concern to this type, for various reasons.

For instance, I am considering a brand new S910 as a replacement for my venerable Technics KN2000. But, if I were to buy an S910 now, I'd be very upset to find that I had missed out on a much improved version at a similar price in two or three months time, OR, that if I'd waited a few weeks or months, I could still buy a new S910, but at a considerably lower price than today . . .

That's two good reasons why it really matters to me and I'm sure there are others in the same situation.

I think that long-term forum members probably don't realise quite how many 'lurkers' are hanging on their every word in a desperate effort to ensure they eventually make a good purchase and don't inflict buyers remorse on themselves!

Hi John

1. No matter what you buy, the one thing that is guaranteed is that when you have bought it, in a short space of time it will become old and obsolete as manufactures continue to bring out new models.

2. If you just keep hanging on for the latest, then I am afraid you will never buy anything, as there is always something new round the corner.

Answer to the above:

Find something you like, try it, and if it suits, buy it and stop worrying about what is round the corner.

Hope this helps

Thanks Bill

What you say is obviously true and, of course, it applies to almost anything, particularly electronics.

But it rather skips the point that when there is a more or less established pattern pointing to a product being near the end of its life cycle, then extra care is needed in decision making.

Ignoring this significant factor is, in this case, likely to result in either

1. Missing a superior product for little to no extra cost
OR
2. Missing a substantial cost saving (of perhaps £200-£500)for the original product, purely through ignorance or impatience.

IMHO, both these possibilities really matter to most potential buyers.

This particular timing factor also affects second hand prices, which will also not concern some people, but will be very important to others. One may be considering 'Product A', would much prefer 'Product B', but can't afford it, not even second-hand. But if Product B is superseded by 'Product B+', then second hand 'Product B' could quickly drop into the reckoning.

Timing of purchase can be really important.

Its like buying a car
