Is it me or I just don't see all the T3 Excitement we had with T1,T2?.....what do you think is the cause of this?

1- Too close to the T2?
2- To soon after the T2?
3- People want more change, 76 keys , features, etc, ?
4- To expensive for what you get?
5- People waiting to see what is coming out on the horizon after winter NAMM 2009?

Please feel free to add to the list or give your own views on this?

I bet they sell more T3's this year then T2's in whole 2007... Marketing wise this is an awesome produkt. Its selling better then a Big Mac.

I do agree that the leaps for the arrangers are to small nowerdays.... and any keyboard without 76 keys is not a contender anymore

Bachus....I think T2 took away many sales of T3 as people wont think the upgrade is really worth it this time around.
Plus timing is crucial for Yamaha before others start to release their models could put a wait & see attitude kibosh on perspective reluctant T3 buyers.

Well Donny, I can safely say the excitement about the Tyros3 in my area is very high.

It's a terrific instrument, and in my opinion, a substantial step up from the T2.

I'm really enjoying playing it...the SA2 Breathy Sax is awesome, as is the single-coil electric guitar...sounds like Telecaster.

I predict sales will be very high.

Ian maybe in your small market area but I'm talking worldwide internet.
Glad your enjoying it.

You don't have to be, my friend, you have found your Holy Grail.

You even have Donny wanting another PA-800.

Those of us who have found what gives us the most satisfaction(I still love my S900)are very lucky...think of Fran and Diki with their G70s,you and Uncle Dave with your PA-800s...contentment is so hard to find these days with so many great choices.

Time will tell, Donny, but interest is very high in Canada, which is a fairly large arranger market, especially in Quebec.

You'd be better off waiting for Roland's TOTL arranger...should be out in the new year...or will it?

Here in Germany you'd save 1200€ if you buy a Tyros 2 instead of a Tyros 3.
With full three years garantee!

But then you wouldn't have a Tyros3?

But, I suppose it's nice to save some money, as the Tyros2 is a wonderful instrument as well.

My favorite is still the PSR-S900...that's a real bargain.
