I am amazed at the price online for the T5. $5200!

When I was shopping for a T2 right before the T3 came out you could buy it for about $2800. I purchased a T3 about 6 months after it came out for about $3000. I don't understand the significant increase in price for the T4 and now T5. Inflation is low and while there have been some advances since the T3 a more than 50% price increase seems excessive. I didn't see that type of increase from Korg between the PA2X and PA3X. So what's up with Yamaha?

I know Frank will be competitive. I bought my T3 from him. But the advertised price for the T5 is still so much higher than the T3. I am still trying to understand the value in upgrading.

Anyone who is paying $5200 for a Tyros 5 clearly isn't shopping around. The price I got for the 61 key T5 was the same as what I paid for my T4 three years ago. -charley

The prices are always much higher when shopping ZZounds, Musicians Friend etc. The Tyros 4 was listed at $5,200.00 as is the Tyros 5 The Korgs, Rolands are list very high also. Lloyd

Our local Guitar Center has had a Tyros 4 in their show room for 2 years now - price on ticket is $5300.00. I asked if that was their best price and was given a sales pitch about how it is Yamaha's TOTL keyboard. They don't have a clue. Does anyone know someone who actually pays these "rip-off" prices for these keyboards?

Overhere in europe they sell hundreds at those prices...

Bachus,
You are correct - in Europe that seems to be the going price. However, a lot of that price is taxes such as the UK VAT of 22% I believe now.
