I have started a new Tyros 2 E-mail and newsletter.

Well bully old man but this is a forum for musicians who appreciate the quality of sound authenticity and reproduction found in the keyboards of our choice. Construction quality also is of great value for the person of discernment. The above is fast disappearing and will soon only be a dream in the minds of many fine musicians. Noise for the masses by purveyors of it in the pursuit of money for the producers is the bottom line of society in their quest for mediocrity.

I know you have the right to pimp your Tyros on this forum as your buddy did awhile back but I also have the right to say I think it is in bad taste as I did at that time with Scotty. I might say Bebop, your offering of music on your Tyros 1+1 aside from being out of place on a technics forum is a prime example of poor instrument reproduction of sound authenticity. I am still not sure what kind of a trumpet that was or if it even was a trumpet. At lower volumes it sounded like it could even be a trombone played out of range or a bad instrument. If you would like to compare real quality with that of the Yamaha offering listen to many of Cee’s offerings on his sight. If you would care to listen to real sound reproduction and a master of technique of them, listen to Larry’s fine interpretations of music played on one of the last remaining examples of true quality electronic digital music keyboards.

Second rate reproduction is not what this forum is all about so please spare us from listening to it. If I would somehow digress to liking that kind of instrumental reproduction I have the ability to push the button to the Yamaha Arranger Keyboard Forum. Thank you very much.

Hi Grandpa

It's really great to see you back and to read your post again. I've always had
great pleasure to read your comments the way you write it, and also admire that
you dare to say what many others don't, even if they happen to have similiar
point of views at different issues.

Keep'em coming.... and bring my regards to Ruthie.

Happy Playing & Posting!

Well said Grandpa there is too much headhunting going on.

I agree completely with Grandpa! My reasons are:-

1. After careful research into features and build quality I have just bought a (s/h)KN2600 to replace a Yamaha and really don't want or need to have the Tyros 2 sold to me.

2. A friend is on his 3rd Tyros 2 in 4 or 5 weeks as two of them have broken down. His show opens on Saturday coming and I wouldn't want to be in his shoes with a reliability record like that hanging over me like an Albatross!

Cheers,

Grandpa,

A voice from the past. Good to hear from you and hope you will post more often.

As you have read, we are having another East Coast Jam in Florida. I wish it were possible to have a Jam that all members of this forum could attend. What a pleasure it is to meet and put a face and personality to the messages we have read.

Say hi to the boss.......Ruthie

GRANDPA DOUG !!! ... I was wondering what was going to make you re-appear ... apparently BeBop fanned the flame ...

I sincerely hope you and Ruthie are well ...

As for BeBop and his TY2, since I've posted some of my 'technics' stuff on the Gen Arranger AND Yamaha forums on this board, I don't have a problem with him posting here ...

Look at it this way ... with the MOST unfortunate discontinuance of new boards by technics, at some point some of the folks around here may have to get another brand, as much as they may LOVE their current technics ... this gives them a chance to hear what other boards do (or don't do) ...
On the other hand, hearing what comes out of some other boards may serve to make technics owners appreciate even more the beautiful instrument they have ...

PLUS, BeBop has been a STRONG supporter of technics , the former website, and this forum as well, ... he has a new toy, is enjoying it, and wants to share his joy ... I say let him have his fun ...

I'll second that Tony. I hate to even think about it but you are quite right, there WILL come a day when we will have no choice and "forewarned is forearmed" as the saying goes At least this way, may be, just may be, Yamaha and others might learn somethings from our comments.

Hopefully.
