Thanks for posting this as otherwise I would not have been at A C Hamiltons in Preston last night to catch most of Richard Bower's excellent demonstration of the PSR950. I thought he was really entertaining and certainly knows his way around the keyboard.
I'm still using a PSR3000, the 950 is clearly an advance on that; I can't comment on the upgrade(?) from the more recent models. I was instantly impressed by some of the new (to me that is) pianos.
The Audio styles / drums / audio triggerd by multipad / SA2 voices all sounded good too.
I can't comment on the internal speakers as this was being played through a small Yamaha rig. Also I didn't have time to hang around and have a personal play which was unfortunate.
I'm not sure that the 950 will persuade fans of other manufacturers stuff to switch. It may sound very good to me but I think I'd spot it was a Yamaha blindfold, so if you like the way your keyboard sounds and operates then the 950 probably does not change the game sufficiently to change your opinion.
Ultimately would I get a 950 to replace my 3000? The 3000 really is showing it's age now.
Tricky. The 950 is very good but also a fair amount of dosh; the 750 does a pretty good job of most of the things I need for a significantly lower price.
On the other hand I started using Yamaha keyboards with a PSR630 and then spent a lot of time wishing I'd got the higher model (the 730). Therefore I got the 2000 rather than the 1000 and then the 3000 rather than the 1500.
Therefore I'm biased towards the 950 rather than the 750 just to avoid the "I should have..." experience again.
