I agree with Donny about the bulk of the Tyros. It's not really all that heavy, but it's big and bulky and when you lug this stuff in and out of a couple locations every day of the week, it makes a HUGE difference.

All the best,

We have (HST)sales tax here in Ontario, Canada, but good prices can still be found. At a local music store where I tried out a Ketron Audya, their selling a Tyros 5-76 for $5,200 CAD, which is $3,975 USD, with a list price shown as $6,999 CAD. My second backup Tyros 5-61 had even a much better price.

You get what you pay for, or willing to pay for.
