That is the sixty four thousand dollar question. The real beef I have is the price. Yamaha is charging a premium for the Genos yet enough people take the bait so they keep charging an arm and a leg. Now if people don't mind forking over big bucks for what is considered an excellent keyboard then everyone is happy including Yamaha obviously.

In my case, I thought it was time for an upgrade but looking back (hindsight is always 20/20) I still enjoy my Tyros 3 and in fact the Tyros 3 is easier to navigate in my opinion. If Yammie reduced the price to be competitive with the Korg Pa4x more people would be able to enjoy the Genos and the price would be more in line with what the Genos is actually worth in my humble opinion. So the bottom line is that everyone has to decide for themselves if the Genos is really worth it. It really would be worth it if it cost around $3,999 instead of $5,499 but that's just my own personal opinion. cool

All the best,

Mike


Mike thank you for your very honest opinion that I think many people want to say and are thinking at this time regarding the price for what your getting vs the competition which is just as good or better at much less cost for what your getting. Your Tyros 3 can certainly produce the goods in many many ways in the hands of a pro like yourself. Slowly the truth surfaces once the :newness" wares off the more people experience genos. Good luck to all and enjoy what you play.
