not buy one unless it had a 76 note keyboard and finished in

black, similar to the Korg PAX3 or the Roland G70 which I have

now.



Wow, Mockie...that's the first time I've heard a musician buy an instrument for what it looks like, rather than what it sounds like. But, I learn something new every day.

Personally, I wouldn't care if the Tyros4 was purple, with yellow stripes, as it has a sound like nothing else...SA/SA2 and Mega voices are exclusive to the Yamaha Tyros and give it a multi-dimensional sound, rather than the more one-dimensional offered on some other arrangers.

A friend of mine has an old Telecaster guitar, that looks pretty bad, and is an odd greenish color, but he won't use anything else because it sounds better than any other guitar he owns. I suppose he could paint it, and perhaps you could get a can of paint and a roller and do up a Tyros in whatever color you want, but, the bottom line, at least for most musicians, is the sound...not the look.

I'm sure there are more than a few people wishing the PA3Xpro sounded as good as it looks. wink
