Nothing is black and white here. Personally I wouldn't buy a keyboard based solely on recommendations. Nothing beats getting out there and trying them side by side and making up your own mind.
I don't expect any keyboard to fit me perfectly. But knowing that allows me to carefully weigh the choices I do have against each other.
Well said Nigel, I wouldn't buy
any musical instrument solely on recommendations, let alone an
expensive arranger keyboard. We all know what
we want to hear coming out of
our speakers, and it's different for each of us. I can't expect my taste in instrument sounds to be the same as someone else.
At this price level, one would be very wise to spend some quality time on the instruments in question, knowing full well, that although there is no "perfect arranger", there is one that should meet a person's needs better than the rest.
Yes...I agree one has to try it himself...and I have tried the T4, not the PA3.
So...I do wander why MANY, MANY performances of all the stuff 'I like' are done on Yamaha...and hardly any on Korg???
Seems all I can find is mostly Mid-Eastern or fast dance music on Korgs...why do suppose so many have chosen the Yamaha T2-T4 (and S-900 etc.)instead of the Korgs? Why are people not doing the same kind of musical performances on their Korgs as Yamaha owners??
Lee, you owe it to yourself to play the Korg PA3X for at least a
reasonable amount of time before you make
any decisions. It may have just the sound you are looking for, and since it is
cheaper than the Tyros4, you could save a few bucks in the process.
I
suspect the reason people are playing the "stuff you like" on Yamaha arrangers, is that they are
generally considered
more adaptable to orchestral type music than the other brands, and
it sounds awesome right out of the box, hence the plethora of Tyros4 performances on YouTube.
You'll be spending a good chunk of change on these instruments, so try them both to
your own satisfaction.
