If you paid $3900.00 at 15% restocking, that hurts.....ouch $585.00.

What didn't you like about the T3? The t3 is 4 generations later then the Psr8000.

WOW..., PSR-8000 over the Tyros 3 (YIKES!) What was it about the 8000 that brought you to returning the T3. As stated..., that's a hefty restocking fee! My goodness.., if the 8000 makes you happy and the Tyros 3 did not.., I'd strongly suggest you look at the PSR-S900. The 900 doesn't load samples or anything, but as far as the sounds are concerned it's in a whole n'other league compared to the 8000.

How soon the truth is coming out its really amazing the difference distance from great to hate wow this is real weird...this Tyros 3 thing is becoming a Crap shoot
I also wish more people would post honest opinions without sugar coating or worrying about hurting peoples feelings or bursting their bubble......people learn from honest reviews & sometimes save a buck or two.

BTW sorry to hear about your disappointment but I understand where your coming from. Your comfort zone has been disrupted did you play it at all pre purchase?

I thought the Tyros3 would have been an improved keyboard, but the PSR8000 sounds much better.It is easier to use ..too.


Hey,

I agree with you that the T3 is a major disappointment, but to say that the PSR-8000 is better? Sorry, there's something wrong with your ears.

I owned the 8000, 9000, T1, T2, and now T3, and there's no question that each model has been upgrade to its predecessor, though the T3 is a pretty pathetic one.

If you think the 8000 sounds better, there's something majorly wrong with your settings or your hearing. If you told me you didn't like the T3 I'd tell you to return it. If you're telling me the 8000 sounds better, I'd say you should hold on to it for another few weeks until you learn how to use it...

Hi CA,

You must give it more than 6 days.

If it is not defective , it should sound amazing , right out of the box.

I have had mine for 3 weeks , and ever time I play it , I like more !!

I say , give it more time.

Good luck

i would not take this post seriously. This guy joined the forum in August this year. Made one post to say hello and now this post. I owned the PSR8000 for 5 years and it was agreat keyboard but i was no where near even a Tyros 1 let alone T2 or T3.

Either this guy
1. has mud in his ears
2. Had a faulty T3 and was too dumb to tell it was faulty
3. He is a fool with his money (lost nearly $600.00 dollars to try out a keyboard that he should have been able to compare with his PSR8000 just from the online demo)
4. or he is a TROLL

i very strongly suspect the latter. I dont normally speak out so strongly about a poster but this post is clearly just nonsense from start to finish.

Ditto I read the post looked at the amount time he is a new member. Mmmmm I just wonder, you can't believe everything you read. Remember the old saying "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." Well, doesn't fit exactly. But just makes you wonder

with all due respect, i went thru similar
situation. i remember using the brass section on my roland d-20 thinking "man that sounds like a horn scetion to me." my singer said that it was to harsh sound. then i went to the korg i series arrangers.
i thought wow , this sounds great. then i went from the i series to the pa series and roland va series. i actually returned the pa sold the va because i couldn't get use to the change of sound (to my ears) and the operating system. i think my ears needed to adjust to the new sounds(in other words, give the new system a chance. its been over 3 years since i've bought a new keyboard. i do have comparison tapes of these keyboards ie. korg i 30, korg pa 80, korg pa 60,roland va76, yamaha psr 1000,1100,2100, tyros 1. i recently played those tapes and wow. i now hear the difference. each keyboard does have certain sounds that are better than the other,BUT not that much(with the exception of the old korg i series with the newer arrangers. if i were to buy a new setup, i personally would go with a tyros and a korg pa500 due to costs and my budget.
regards
dave
