I was told today by my repair tech that the PSR-S900, which should arrive sometime in late August in this part of the world, has a heavy-duty music rack, more rugged case, expanded onboard memory, and lots of other neat features.

One of the neat things he told me about was Yamaha's newest testing equipment that will actually allow their tech to trouble shoot individual components of all the printed circuit boards, thereby lowering repair costs by replacing only the failed components instead of the entire printed circuit board. This should also improve turn-around time for board repairs as well. The only downside is this will only be available to customers who opt to return their boards directly to Yamaha in California, or in some of the major cities where Yamaha has major repair centers.

The next few months should be interesting.

Cheers,

Gary
