I wonder how many T5's this dealer sold that day after this demo?

I hope this is still a question and the clip is not the answer ?

He's a pretty good salesman with a comic flair. Check out his business site.

Donny...by the look of your new icon and your equipment list including the PSR-S950, I'd say either your moving towards a Tyros 5 or waiting for the new PSR-S970. What killed the PA900? I know after listening to all the 970 demos, I'm getting a little excited.

Jingleman wrong on both counts ...

I so happily went back to my beloved S950 as that is my "comfort zone" playing on stage, .....although I really like the Tyros 5 which sounds Super amazing it's just not a good fit for everyday gigging for me. As far as the new S970 I am still on the fence as to what it really brings to the table vs the S950. I learned a valuable lesson this time around & know what's right for MY needs.
Play what you love & enjoy making music.

take care

Donny thank you, this is the most exciting demo of a keyboard yet.

My fear? This type of salesperson has sold many fantastic things to people who regretted buying them afterwards. They buy the hyp – These salespeople sell retirement plans, Time Share,and Health Insurance in the same manner.
This does not put down the video, it’s the best I have seen; I really understand things about the Tyros 5 I did not know before.

At one time I was an excited fan of the Wersi organ; concerts and all. I had had the opportunity to buy a used Delta 500. Took it home really got into it. I could not stay away from the Wersi, what fantastic sounds. Five months later I sold it; It did not sound like the ones I had heard.

John I wonder if lifetime lessons comes with the purchase as this is what lures them in besides the demo...?

Donny, this is what Fletcher Music offered people who purchased an organ from them. The music store I was in hired me to learn their system of selling and rewarding. It was with their permission. They were doing some great things: Picnics, Special trips, and some great teaching classes. They were selling the “sizzle” and not the “steak”.

It was a package deal, and those who took advantage of the whole program got their monies worth.

Fletcher’s program was good, and so was the video; it made me think of buying a Tyros 5.

That's what I was thinking also ...I had people I knew working at Fletcher Organs stores in the Crystal River Mall in FL years ago using the "rope a dope" sales pitch method...

If you watch that video on Youtube, you can read the comment I left 10 months ago. Still my opinion!

Funny video for sure! I enjoyed his presentation about sax players too. Thanks for sharing!

The Tyros 5 is a great keyboard and if one is a serious player you cannot dispute the sounds, styles and OS. Were talking about sound and even the novice player with a good ear can hear the
difference. Other brand players love to put the Tyros down.
If your keyboard is what you think is best, that's great but
please don't bash other ones because it doesn't suit you.
That's all I'm saying. Lloyd

Lloyd - T5 is a super board for sure! Hoping some more of the T5 traits will be found on the S970. I had T2 and T4 and now have the S910.... hoping to trade up to S970 and get some more T5 behavior in the process.

Donny, I totally understand your decision to retreat back to Yamaha. I myself have gone back and forth a number of times. I owned and operated a large recording studio up North for over 30 years. So when I listen to how far Yamaha has come from the original Tyros to the latest incarnation of the PSR series...I'm blown away. The realism of their solo sounds, ensemble sounds, along with the quality of their new drum kits are simply amazing.

Since I don't play out, the quality of their harmonizer isn't that important as I have a TC Voice Works Plus when I need it. My PA600 may soon be gone as I await the PSR-S970!

Jingleman

I have to agree with you all the way,...good luck with your S970!!
