I think Scott has the right idea...a controller with 76 keys for those solo piano gigs....cool.





I would say to these people who want Yamaha to make a 76 note Tyros/PSR...get over it...it ain't gonna happen...so...buy a Roland or Korg or another brand that suits your needs.

Face it...you aren't hurting Yamaha as much as you think.

Ian, I have not doubt I didn't hurt Yamaha buying a G70. Wanna buy my Tyros?

I have tried the using an 88 note controller keyboard along the my Tyros2. Since the majority of my gigs are 1 hour nursing home or cocktail hours, it's a little bit more setup work than I care to do for 1 hour.

I like being able to spread out at the keyboard with 61 keys I feel cramped in, I can only speak for myself, but it feels good sitting at a keyboard with at least 76 keys.

If arranger keyboards are target marketed toward home users, why is it that the DGX and YGP (I'm assuming also targeted toward the home user) are 76 and 88 keys. Maybe I'm naive, but it just doesn't add up. Or are they targeting little Johnny and Judy who are going to start piano lessons and are told they really should have 88 keys to learn piano properly?
