Bachus, well, TommyF did provide links to an official Yamaha's page above, so, I guess, no fakes this time. By the way, I believe that Yamaha used a term "ultimate PSR" for earlier models, so they just keep the pattern.

Thanks mate, i definately missed those links...
Looks legimate indeed

Altough just a minor update as far as i can see
But then the 970 allready has many of the new Genos features..

Maybe this new model will make people decide to buy the Genos
Instead of longer wayting for a PSR that would be truely a Tyros/Genos offspring
I personally didnt expect to see new PSR instruments this year

Well Yamaha has to sell off old stock, parts, etc, somehow...
hence the S975..........

The s970 allready has the latest yamaha tech inside, the same as the Genos... so not really to sell of old parts, i guess..

Well if you want 76 keys it's a Genos, if you want 61 it's a PSR , cuts down choices a bit.

Thats really thumbing down the genos technology alot comparing them equal 61/76...there has to be much more then that inside..? question is why would someone buy a S975 vs a S970?

No, I'm not saying they are equal, or even close, it's just that if you want 76 keys then it's a Genos. I think that we have to make a choice. Is the Genos worth a
Lot more money. I don't think there is a right or wrong, it's what is best for us personally. I have a PSR which has served me we'll and I have a Genos on order somewhere between the UK and China. I hope.

I think the correct question would be why would someone buy a S975 vs a Pa1000?

I really see no other value of releasing a S975 NOW.

AMEN

MEL

at least Yamaha made some nice pictures





Usually Yamaha pictures their keyboards on stages, now they got more realistic. Korg and Roland displayed such scenarios as well long ago:




let's say that it's not the worst photoshop ever )))

Generally, I see some mixed message with the numbers of new PSR's (I mean 775 and 975), I didn't expect such a move.
