jdx Member Registered: 09/29/04 Posts: 224 Loc: Liverpool U.K.	I made the mistake of buying the 76 note Tyros and not checking to see if it would fit across the back seat of my car (It didn't) and because of my other gear that I carry to gigs in the car there is no room for the keyboard. A dealer has told me that the designer of the board told him it would fit on the back seat of a family car ...I have a Vauxhall Astra which is an average family saloon in the UK and the board would not fit across the back seat even in a soft case (so a flight case no way) Another point is the left hand voice does not hold (freeze) any more when you change registrations. I was told that this is because they changed the op. system to suit the new ensemble features. Just a couple of points to watch out for. Cheers ... John.

The 2nd point would also go for a 61 key version since it has the exact same software version. I see 4 options - dont use the T5 out of home - buy another car - return the t5, if you hvae a return pollicy available - try to trade the 76 version against a 61 version _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

jdx Member Registered: 09/29/04 Posts: 224 Loc: Liverpool U.K.	wow ...helpful or what. option 1 ... I'm a pro musician so I wouldn't earn much money playing it at home. option 2 ... I'm a pro musician ... I can't afford another car. option 3 ... I have returned it ... and got a PA3x 76 instead. option 4 ... A 61 note would still (as you said) not hold freeze the left hand voice ... which is important for me. I was making these points to try and help other people thinking of buying a 76 note Tyros. Now you have a nice day Bachus.

Now you have a nice day Bachus. Where is your sense of humor? We both know you should have looked up the size and make sure it fit in you car, dresser, livingroom, or wherever you need to put it, so dont blame me. Really, the size is on every spec sheet.. _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

Hope you get it shorted.

Much more "gig-friendly", as far as size, layout, controllers, operation, Songbook, harmonizer, chord sequencer, etc. If there are some lead sounds you feel are lacking, it's easy to find and load them. _________________________ DonM

Diki Registered: 04/25/05 Posts: 14356 Loc: NW Florida	Trunk-through folding back half seat storage is a good option to have on any saloon. But the deeper issue is, why did Yamaha make it so BIG..? Look at any picture of the 61 stacked over the 76 (there's one or two posted here) and you see what a pointless thing the extended RH end plate is... There's MORE than enough unused space to place the USB port ABOVE the RH end of the keyboard, then if you lose that, the 76 ends up almost the same size as the 61. What made Yamaha miss this obvious point? Expediency? Laziness? Or a desire to make the 76 an unpopular choice? Whatever the reason, hopefully the design team can take a look at it for the NEXT Tyros! _________________________ An arranger is just a tool. What matters is what you build with it..!
