I used a Roland G 800 then a G 1000 for quite a few years. Back then I was still playing in clubs, so the board could sit on top of the grand piano for several days. In recent years I've switched to private parties and retirement communities. With all that moving around the Tyros made more sense. I've been using one for a year now with a hard case. It even got drenched during an outside wedding ceremony and it still plays great. The 76 key thing was hard for me to get around at first because I am a pianist, but I got used to pressing the buttons to extend the board when I need it. If it breaks tomorrow, I'll get something else, but for now, I just did 5 days worth of doubles and it's kicking butt.
