I have spent several hours today trawling the keyboard forums to see if they had any news on the Tyros 5 that I may have missed ... my goodness, what a lot of unhappy people I have read dozens of posts about the new keyboard being a great disappointment .... How on earth do they know this - nobody has heard it yet
Over the last 8 years Tyros owners (particularly in the US) have been whining about Yamaha producing a 76 note version ... now it's come, it's way to heavy .... Again, I'm not sure how they know this because as of yet there has been no weight details, in-fact no details period, of the 76 note version released (or leaked)
On one particular site the members have become extremely vitriolic towards each other over the launch of the T5 ... 26 pages and very little about the T5 other than comparing it with the Roland BK-9 .... I mean give us a break, I'm sure the BK-9 is a very fine instrument but a Tyros it is not ... period.
Yes, I have been entertained well this afternoon
But I have to admit, I am a little miffed over how many people are 'slating' the T5 purely upon its look and the fact that it doesn't appear to have any significant differences to the Tyros 4 .... I'm looking forward to another afternoons entertainment when they all start 'backtracking' after they have heard it being demonstrated
