DNJ, Not sure I'd take a Tyros if you gave me one. Just not for me.

I thought about waiting for a Tyros 6....and who knows what the future will bring?

Thing is, if a Tyros 6 appears, and that is IF, it will most likely be twice what I paid for my PA 4X. And how big will it be? My 4X has all the controls(and then some)of my Tyros and it's actually smaller than my S970.

Also the next Yammie arranger flagship could also just be a slight upgrade from the Tyros 5. It appeared to me that the Tyros 5 was just an incremental upgrade from the Tyros 4 but in all honesty, I never played a Tyros 5.

Also, I'm 67 and not sure I wanted to wait until I'm 69 or 70 to start working with a Tyros 6...if there ever is such a thing.

My PA 4X hasn't completely replaced my Yammies yet....but this 4X sure has the potential.

Don..... We'll see when T6 arrives lol

Remember ... it is DON, not DONNY

T6 would have to be a completely new keyboard, with completely new sound system and operating system, and vocal processor, and price reduction of 40 percent, and weight and size reduction. That's not going to happen.

sounds like your talking about the new S980 Don... ;-)

Open your mind. Yamaha isn't for me. Unless they change a lot of things. And they aren't going to do that.

Different strokes for different folks!

A while back I was at a music store near here. They had a Yamaha Clavinova of some sort...around $12,000 or something like that. The piano had arranger functions...but, near as I could tell, not even as sophisticated as my $800 DGX 650.

I can't imagine Yamaha making big changes in the TOTL arranger; if they would make any changes at all. Yamaha is not known for bang for the buck...???

Years back before I purchased a PSR 3000 I used a DGXxxx, for gigs I believe it could have been a DGX520 don't remember. Somewhere around 2005 bought a Clavinova 307, although I'm not familiar with the DGX650, the newest CVPs are more flexible and are more feature rich than the DGX series...........at $12k they better be AFAIK the CVP series still do not include "pads".
