Greetings,

I am that typical Yamaha home player and like the fact Genos has 76 keys. I went from a Tyros 4 to a Tyros 5 with 76 keys. I immediately liked the extra real estate expanding my left hand for full chords and having extra range for right hand playing. I found that a good option for me.

I do think Yamaha should have offered Genos in a 61 key version since I read that so many players liked that. My Genos will never leave the house so its mass and weight are not an issue. I was able to fit my boxed Genos into my Hyundai to transport it home. A boxed Tyros 5 - 76 did not fit into the same car with the hatch closed.

Would a 61 key version of Genos really be that much lighter?? -charley
