'keep in mind guys and gals that Yamaha does make 76-key keyboards. You keep forgeting about the DGX series
Lots of neat features and not expensive.
It seems as the folks asking for 76 keys are asking Yamaha to build a Tyros2 with 76 keys, which would entail a complete retooling. This would involve spending huge sums of money for a very small market--it ain't gonna' happen.

Thats a brilliant example Gary of yamaha understanding its target customers. The DGX series of 'portable grand pianos' are geared to guess which market ? entry level beginner pianist users. It has some arranger functions but it is marketed as a piano. They dont make them in any size less than 76 keys ! Why ?????? Because yamaha have researched the market that this product is aimed at and they dont want a piano with less than 76 keys and they are not going to buy one with less even if its a T2 with SA voices.
End of story.
And ....oh never mind. Diki if you havent got it by now you are just not going to....
