You might consider the Motif (or the NP30)as the Tyros2 successor will remain at 61 keys.

Hi Ian, Thanks for that definite statement.
Is that informed opinion or "official".

Regards John

Wow,
Much obliged Ian.Food for thought.

Well, if I keep the Ty2 at least I won't have to remake all those setups & special voices I currently have.

Hi Scott,

A friend of mine just purchased a Yamaha DGX520, which is the Canadian equivalent of the YPG525. He plays accompaniment for Cape Breton fiddlers and needed the full 88 keys.

He tells me the 32 note poly isn't an issue for his type of playing. and, like you he has carpel tunnel issues...he just loves the action.

I would find 32 poly a bit restrictive because I like to layer sounds(Piano/Strings...Piano/E.Piano) and I'm sure it wouldn't be enough for me. ..64 notes would be my bare minimum.

The other thing, Scott, is that these pianos do not have dedicated MIDI ports like the NP30...maybe that would matter to you?

Ian
