DonM,

I agree with you. No arguments here. The PSR3000 is certainly not a Tyros. But what amazes me is just how much of the original voices, effects, styles and features were retained in the newer version at this incredible price point. It’s a bargain!

In another post I made a comment about combining the PSR3000 with the Yamaha P250 digital piano. Sure this combo does not match the luxurious Clavinova CVP 309 with its striking piano black finish and brilliant LCD display and a boat load of features, but it does capture the heart of this beast for less than half the price.

The arranger market is getting tighter at the top end. Technics bailed out. It does not seem Yamaha is interested in making a truly pro level Tyros II. As you mentioned this leaves only a few manufacturers like Ketron and General Music to raise the bar and compete with Korg.
