Fran, as the Albert Hammond song goes: "It never rains in Southern California". Ok, perhaps I'm pushing it a bit here in Northern CA, but it remains nice & sunny here today , and I contine to enjoy each day playing the Tyros . . . toy or not. BTW: I do LOVE toys! As a longtime PRO musician, I'm way past caring about someone's ego trip about any kb being a toy. Afterall, most non-arranger pro players STILL view ALL arranger keyboards as toys, even the G70! . If the keyboard sounds incredible to you, easily playable & navigatible, and satisfies your audience, what's the difference?! - Scott
