We've been through a few Yamaha keyboards; also I have a few nice guitars.

Tonight, my wife reminded me that we started out with a Yamaha PSR E423; or one of those PSR 400 series. We performed to older crowds and they brought us back because they liked our performance.

Since then, we've gone through a few Yamaha keyboards. I doubt the keyboards made us better performers; may have given us more confidence.

Actually, the biggest difference came when we switched to a Bose L1 and then two Bose Compacts. Folks really noticed that.

I doubt our crowds would notice the difference between our Tyros 4 and our latest PSR...the S970. I notice the difference between a Tyros and a PSR. Our audiences? Not so much.

At this point, when I'm doing a solo gig, I still feel the most confident in our Tyros. But I'm guessing, when I get comfortable with the S970, our audiences will like it just as much.

Our audiences are age mid 40's on up.

Thoughts?
