My go-to keyboard is up for sale. My s910 is in great condition and I have all the stuff that goes with it except the box. I'm asking $1300 for it. Email me for more info or pics.

I'm looking at the s950.

what kind of move Cass?

Hi Cass, have you looked at the new Korg Pa900?

I suppose you have your reasons, but I,as well as others, don't think you get that much more over the S910. I saw two on the Yamaha forum that had S910s, bought S950s only to sell them and bought S910s again.

Then again, some love their S950s.
Good luck

The S950 has a few more SA voices than the S910, and no SA2 voices (as on Tyros4).

Some feel the S950's audio based drums are pretty cool, but personally, I think they are a bit gimmicky...plus there are only the 25 styles and some may not be useful to you.

If I was buying between the two, I'd get the S910 in a heartbeat, so if you don't want to keep it, there are always the Korg and Roland options...maybe the Korg SA-900 as suggested above.

The new S750 is basically an S910 minus the harmonizer/mic input. It has the SA voices and the same 128 poly as well. Better on-board speakers/amps and a black cabinet, but the panel buttons are a bit harder to see.

Good luck.

Improved vocal harmonizer, new drum kits, new guitar sounds . . . these alone are worth moving to the 950.

Love my s950....

That's wierd, I don't see how someone could really prefere a 910 over 950. 950 has a better VH, Drums and some new new sounds and styles. I think it's a good move up. But if you are tired of the Yamaha sound there's a few other choices at that price point.

The S950 strikes me as a very small incremental change up from the S910, TBH. The way Yamaha seem to miserly dole out improvements, I think unless GAS rules you, every OTHER S series Yamaha seems a better time to change. Or longer!

Personally, I tend to hear and see a radical improvement every ten years or so. Within that window, unless there is a total breakthrough and radical departure from previous design, you are getting baby steps. A few sounds, a few more styles (that will be probably backwards converted for the older arranger after a bit of time passes), a few minor OS improvements... Is that honestly worth ditching an arranger you are, by now, probably intimately familiar with and have painstakingly adjusted to sound JUST the way you like?

For me, the answer is a resounding NO!

TBH, if it weren't for the Chord Sequencer, I might not have made the move to the BK-9. Yes, it's got a bunch of sounds I don't have in the G70, a bunch of new styles, some seriously better OS features, SuperNatural sounds, yada, yada, yada. But it still isn't quite the 'night and day' difference I want to hear. But that CS is a game changer, when you know how to use it. I sincerely hope that Yamaha climb on board for you, Ian... Even if they added ONLY that, you would find it such a game changer it might be worth ditching the T4 for.

Mind you, I haven't ditched the G70. The BK-9 is only for solo and duo use. Roland's penny pinching decision to release the BK-9 with the horrendous double LCD screen has prevented the BK-9 from replacing my G70 as my go to live band keyboard.

Idiots!

I listed it today. If it doesn't sell by Sunday, I'll keep it.
