What can I say? Well, I think it's best to start off with "Wow"

I have played on the Tyros 1 and 2 before, and I really did enjoy them... so Tyros 3 had a lot to live up to, especially as I bought it without playing it or seeing it before hand. Naturally, it didn't just live up to my expectations, it completely shattered them!

The machine itself produces rich sounds from the moment you switch it on, and some of the most amazing styles I've ever heard from any instrument... so good in fact, that it made me glad I was sitting down when I was playing it. Usually I stand up, but I can safely say if I was standing, I wouldn't have been for long: the sounds turned my legs to jelly, they are truly stunning!

Naturally I had to try everything; IDC, USB ports, Hard Disk Recorder, Song Recorder, Style creator, Multi pad creator, organ flutes... the list goes on!

Faults? Well there are only 61 keys, but if you WANT 88 keys from your Tyros, just plug in another on the MIDI in ports... now if only you could record to the song recorder from a connected keyboard ... but that might just be me asking too much

All-in-all, here we have one of the best digital workstations created to date... and even at that price, you get what you pay for!

I have had my Tyros 3 for just coming up to a fortnight now, and still when I play some of the Super Articulation voices, I hit some wrong notes just to make the Saxophones and Clarinets do their glides and so on...

A must-buy if you're looking for a top of the range keyboard!
