Not very likely...but nothing is impossible, I guess.

My suggestion...buy a Korg PA2Xpro if you need a 76 note arranger.

They seem to get great reviews, at least here on SZ.

YES, but on ONE Condition . . . the 76 keys would have to fit within the confines of the 'current T2' overall length dimension. - Scott

The current piano sound on the Tyros 2 s900 does not make it worth it for me to have 76 keys. Granted, there are other reasons for having 76 keys apart from the piano sound. But, if the piano sound is indeed improved on the T3, then yes I'd definitely buy the nex PSR-S keyboard that had 76 keys. I would not buy a Tyros because I use my arranger mostly for fun and like having the built-in speakers.

What you are saying that if they don't sell red jeeps (Only blue and black jeeps), you just buy a red Chevy... its all the same as long as the color is red.


Some people just love the smell of yamaha above the "st...."of Korg in the morning.. while still being professional musicians that have need for 76 keys. Those are the people that would love a 76 key yamaha...

Ahhhh...sniff sniff...mmmm...t'would appear that Yamaha is only making arranger fragrances for the "home user" not the "professional".

Your olfactory sense must be satisfied with the scent of Korgian perfume, or none at all.

The question was meant to infer that Yamaha STILL made a 61, but if they made a 76 AS WELL, which would you chose..?

Size and weight? Well, the T2 is already a fairly light, keyboard, no reason to assume that they would go overboard. The Roland E60 is a well built 76 with a keybed at LEAST as good as the T2. It weighs 28 lb. No doubt Yamaha could do as well as Roland, if they wanted to...

The E60 is only a tad under 5 inches wider than a T2.

And neither do i think that the costs of a 76 version would be much higher then a 61 key version... not more then $20.. and having to start another production line... well if only 1000 more people would buy a 76 key Yamaha, they's earned back the production line...

Most of all, a sattisfied customer will stick to a brand...

Come on, let's be reasonable...

Look at the difference between a 61 Motif and a 76.

That's likely the price hike.

And PLEASE....

JUST current Tyros and S900 users.

We've already discussed if you would switch to a 76 Yamaha...
