Hi Dnj,

In South Africa the Tyros 5 cost exactly five times what I've paid for the S950. And more than twice what I paid for the Audya before the upgrade.

I just put out my feelers. If nothing comes of it, I'll just keep them. No harm done in testing the waters. The market for arrangers over here is not what you are used to & even the two different music dealers where I've bought my Korg PA50SD & my S950 knew nothing about the Audya. Hard to believe but really true!

The Audya is really great, but my personal fulfillment in styles lies with the Yamaha instead. The Audya is an excellent arranger for someone skilled in playing on his own and especially for those like Fran who does not like over crowded styles. Had he ever played with an Audya for awhile, he would have owned one.

I've been retrenched at work as they've mothballed our project over at EXXARO after over ten years with the company. So I have ZERO buying power for the moment. As such, if I cannot swap, I'll simply have to keep what I have.

It would have been a good deal for both parties should anyone have been interested or even if DonM had a used Tyros 5.
