All in all, i had a wonderfull day... Just playing all hese instrumens, some for a few minutes, others for a longer time...


And to top the day off, i bumped into Michel Voncken who was helping out at musik store in the pre christmass sales...
Just had a small talk with him about future Yamaha products... All he could tell is that yamaha will be slowing down their schedule of releasing new instruments less often... Which means that the tyros 5 will be around for atleast 2 more years..

I could not get any actuall information from hime (offcourse not) about actuall planned releases and new features...
