Deane, which Tyros5 did you get...the 61, or the 76?
I'm betting it was the 61...more compact and a tad lighter.
Ian
is the T5 /76 as
popular in sales as expected....
seems everyone is complaining it "TOO BIG" ? isn't this what so many players asked for? If not will they continue a 76 model in T6?
Actually, three of the Tyros5 sales I was indirectly involved with, were 76 keys, and two of them are being used to gig.
One guy is replacing his 9000 Pro with the T5-76. He has a mini-van so the size isn't an issue. The other buyer uses a van as well.
The Tyros5-76's size only seems to be a problem with those moving them in cars, as it will not usually fit on the back seat of most small sedans.
I still feel most of Tyros sales are to home players, although that can always change.
What I find hard to understand is most of those who cried for a 76 note lightweight mid-priced arranger have not taken more interest in the BK-9, as Roland seems to have filled all their wishes and then some.
