Hi cassp

Nothing personal here, but, the main thing I want to get across to potential buyers that go by what others say is, that you ought to try them out first and conclude if they sound the same.(they don't, not opinion, fact.), which one gives you what you really need/want in relation to how much you want to spend.

The PSR3000, a fine keyboard, sounds similar to the Tyros 1, BUT IT IS NOT IDENTICAL IN SOUND, and anyone being misled into believing they are saving a bundle of money to get an identical sounding instrument is being, mislead, deluded , rationalizing or I am sorry to say suffering from a hearing impairment.

I have not hear the S900, but I can assure you the same will hold true compared to the Tyros 2, (unless Yamaha has totally lost their minds

Is it worth it to spend the extra money for a Tyros version over the PSR. IMHO, I would be willing to spend more than I did on a Tyros 2 to get what I've got in relationship the the PSR. There is that much difference, if you really are using all the voice families etc.

Again, this is meant mostly for the lurkers who come here to get advice. Try them out, see which one fills YOUR criteria. Don't take my word for it. This is not a my toys are better than yours, I had a 3000 and T1. The PSR made me unhappy, after playing the Tyros. The Tyros1 & 2 wows me every time I play it.

Being able to layer 3 right hand sounds and having aftertouch makes a major difference plus many other things.

Many players are perfectly happy with the PSR3000 and I'm sure the same will hold true for the S900, I want to try one out myself. So if you like the 3000 or 900 great!

My opinion: never live by anyone else's opinion. What makes you happy may be totally different.

Not meant to stir things up, but, it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

Best
Scott
