Ron, great to hear you were able to audition Tyros 5 in person at George Kaye's store today. I really appreciate you taking the time to post your review so quickly. I'm encouraged to hear you say the Concert Piano (ConcertGrand?) is improved over the Tyros 4's ConcertGrand, as I felt the T4 ConcertGrand, though it sounds great when playing solo piano, esp in the lower & upper octaves, when played live with auto accomp, I found it lacking enough punch in the middle octaves to cut thru the mix. Did you have have a chance to try the new Upright1octave & Upright2octave piano's as well? Curious to hear how you felt these sounded for piano soloing along with auto accomp tracks?

Coincidentally, our Synthzone buddy Steve Molnar also had a chance, at Frank Ventresca's AudioWorks store to not only audition a Tyros 5 (76 note version), but audition & compare it side by side with a Tyros 4, and came to a similar review conclusion as you, and ordered Tyros 5, as you did too.

Both yours and Steve's review confirm the feelings I had listening to the many Tyros 5 demos posted online. That said, I'm more excited than ever to finally receive mine, though I ordered the 61 note version.

Ron, Mirza, and Steve: welcome to the Tyros 5 owners club.

Scott
