Uh, UD; Rory played the PSR 3000 in person himself at NAMM and described to all of us what we've heard from others that have had a chance to play it. That the Keys seem to be put together just like the PSR 2000/2100, ie., "lousy action", spongy feeling, soft marshmellow keys. Will Yamaha correct the Keys before the PSR 3000 hits mass production? If they listen and heed our advice on this Forum they will. But do they seem to listen and heed our advice on this Forum? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. At least in the majority of cases that I'm aware of.

But you're right UD. We should still reserve judgement until they hit the streets and we can play it in person. Stranger things have happened you know. Yamaha could surprise all of us by placing an actual decent Keybed with wonderful action on the PSR 3000. But don't hold your breath because pre-production models that are shown at NAMM especially; - most likely Yamaha or any other Company would not do a complete makeover of a Keybed or any other major component of a "presentation" model Keyboard because Manufacturers are showing people what the Keyboard offers and they don't want to confuse the public later by adding or subtracting from that perception and what has already received major press and ballyhooed product description and feature list. In other words; if they're lousy Keys at NAMM they'll almost certainly be lousy Keys when they hit the streets.

Best regards,
Mike
