Would it be worth paying the bit extra for a new 750 over a pre-owned 910?

Sorry for the few new topics but my head is pickled trying to decide what to go for. With the likes of George posting on here and the amount of participants with extensive experience with the 910 I hoped I could get a bit of direction.

Music stores here aren't what they used to be and forum views are important.

Many thanks

the advantage of getting the 750 over the 910 are great unless you need the vocal harmonizer that's in the 910 and not in the 750.

The 750 allows you lo load up to 64MB of custom Yamaha Packages. Currently these packages are:
Celtic and British
Brazilian
Eastern European
Spain
France
Many middle eastern packages
and there will be many more in the future

The 750 allows you to play .wav files using multipads
The 750 has a better internal sound system.

The 910 is better if you play midi files and you need to see the lyrics on a big screen.

The 750 has the new modeled distortion algorythm which is not in the 910 which makes guitars and electric pianos sound more realistic.

The 750 shows lyrics on the internal LCD but doesn't have the video output socket that let's you show lyrics on an external screen, thats what the "lyrics on a big screen" refers to.

So can I just clarify a few things -

1) does the s750 have the exact same sounds and styles as the s910?

2) apart from the lyrics on a "big screen" (not something I'd be interested in) and vocal harmoniser (again not something I need) the s750 seems to be a better keyboard due to the better speakers and processor.......so for an extra £200+ it seems a no brainer to go for the new keyboard rather than a pre-owned??

3) is the keybed the same in the 750 and 910?

4) is the keybed the same in the 750 and 950?

5) major differences between the 750 and 950, apart from audio drums that has already been clarified above?


My choices are:

s910 - £785 inc,. delivery pre-owned

s750 - £974 inc delivery obviously new

s950 - £1604 inc delivery obviously new

Someone help me make my mind up and tell me which one to buy lol computer dance

Many thanks for helping and I really do appreciate it.

Buy the s750. New is better then second hand and you will have full warranty. And the s750 look much better (more Pro in Black) then the the s910.

Also, the 750 does have the audio/multipads ability.

So you have added the S950 as a one of the choices? Then it really is a no brainer.

I'm thinking myself, because of the realisation that the 750 is basically an upgraded 910, that the pre-owned 910 is looking unlikely.

So 750 or 950......hmmmm.

Thanks for the replies so far - keep them coming!! laugh

I agree with Larry. If money is no issue go with the Yamaha s950
