For that matter you could have optional plug-in powered speaker modules also. Oh well.
A 61-note keyboard on a Tyros II is a deal-breaker for me too. It's a non-negotiable point. Guess that's why it's being called a "Tyros II" instead of a "Tyros Pro".
You come up with the greatest ideas. Kudos to you Pro. You are always thinking out of the box.
The Tyros is very big, big enough to have 76 keys. An instrument dealer can have spare keybeds in stock. When a customer wants to buy a Tyros, he asks, will that be 76 or 61 keys. 76? Ok. He removes the 61 keybed, pulls out the two covering panels on both sides, and slides in the 76 keybed. Yamaha does not have to manufacture a 61 & 76 keyboard, just the keybed. Don't like the feel of that one? Ok. try this premium keybed instead.
