For those who have ordered PSRS950s, the first shipment has just been released by Yamaha for delivery to their dealers. I've been told that the next shipment will arrive to Yamaha within 2 weeks and all of the first 2 shipments have been sold out. Mine arrive on Friday because they ship from Chicago.

I am thinking in that direction too. I am getting tired of the Tyros 2, and thinking and reading about that 950.

There are more orders than Yamaha has keyboards usually in the first and second deliveries from overseas. I am only receiving a few of what I have ordered this week and I will get more in the next shipment in a few more weeks. Contact Frank because he should know at this time what has been shipped to him as well.

I've heard reports of a bad viewing angle on the S950 display while seated.

George, Coaster Tim, or anyone...do you have an opinion on that?

I find it a only a slight disappointment. I'm 6' and when sitting to play it seems the main default page and all the pages for styles and voices can be seen just fine. It's when I go into the mixer mode that I have to lean forward a bit to see clearly - Otherwise I see a partially faded blacked-out screen.

Actually the 910's viewing angle was better - not perfect, either, but better. Yamaha should have given us a higher resolution screen considering the price jump from the 910 to the 950.

I could also complain about how pixelated the fonts are - all letters are jagged-edged. Once again - Yamaha could have / should have done better.

I'm not bashing the 950 - all in all, it's excellent in many ways, but an updated screen would have given this instrument some extra points.

Tim,
I wonder if the poor resolution is the "glitch" Yamaha held up shipment
about and if so - is it fixed on the ones being shipped now?
