My suggestion to you is the same as my last reply. I would try the 3000 before I got rid of the Tyros.

If one is going up from a PSR2000,2100, that's one thing. BUT, if you like your Tyros and are used to the extra nice feel of the keys, the rich tone and some of the other things ScottY has mentioned like the 3 layered right hand voices. You may regret getting rid of the Tyros before auditioning the 3000.

Once you are used to the button layout on the Tyros you will feel incredibly cramped on the 3000.

I was going to get a 3000 to play out with, leaving my Tyros at home. But they were soooo much different that I wouldn't consider it for myself. My wife who also plays, took about 60 seconds to size it up and walked away. I gave it a longer trial trying to use the mixer to match the sounds that I use on the Tyros and it never came close. I really, really wanted to like the 3000 , but it would prove unsafisfactory for me.

I bought the Technics KN2600 because it was hailed as the mini KN7000, using the same nx sound engine. Yeah, right. ha! BS! Not for me. Some may like it. But not me.


But, that's us. Maybe you'll like it. A lot of people do. But, it seems like about everyone that got one went up from an older, lower moder, not down from the Tyros.

One thing for sure is the tone is not identical between the 3000 and the Tyros. Great for what it is and what is was intended for, but no contest. Some have said the PSR2100 sounds just like the Tyros. I think they should have their hearing checked. Seriously.

If you try it out first you're playing it safe.
