Worth getting the PSR2000? - 12/23/01 02:54 AM
(NB. I originally posted this on the Yamaha forum but thought I would get a better response here)
I am thinking of getting a new keyboard. I scoured the Yamaha site looking at their keyboards, and found one that caught my interest - the Yamaha PSR2000. I have done a lot of research on this keyboard, including downloading sound samples of its demos. It's amazing how much prices can vary - although the recommended retail price is £1150, I have found it for £879.
I even took the time to travel to my local music shop, and managed to test a PSR2000 (it was their most expensive keyboard there!). However, I only got the chance to play it for about a minute, and had difficulty working out how to use it! The sound quality seemed great with the limited amount I heard, but I have to admit I wasn't too impressed with the 'looks' of the keyboard. The PSR1000 below it looked a lot more attractive!
My main priority is sound quality. Do you think the PSR2000 has good sound quality in relation to other keyboards? Do you think I should generally buy the keyboard?
I'm a semi-pro musician (and actually earn money playing as an accompanist for private singing lessons) so I was wondering if this keyboard would be right for me.
Feedback would be gratefully accepted.
