Nick !!!
Congratulations !!

In my opinion the Tyros 2 is a very good keyboard that will give you untold hours of pleasure. I come from a piano background as well, and really enjoy all the potential that the Tyros 2 gives a musician. I bought the Tyros 2 mainly for the S.A. Concert guitar (upgraded from the 9000). I think that Tyros 2 provides the opportunity for great expession on the part of the musician playing it. I really enjoy it. I find that I really enjoy all of the SA guitars. If you ever have questions regarding the SA guitars or want some insight from someone else, let me know. I am a big fan indeed.

Best regards to you,
