Has anyone on the forum got the Yamaha Chromatic Keyboard? It sounds great and the voices are so much better than on PSR,
see here :

I can see that they modify the keybed of an original keyboard and sell them here:

Well Ton, if it is a Tyros I guess it sounds good like a Tyros does :)

I’m sure Pianos is right, it’s just a Tyros with a modified keyboard, so people used to button key accordions can play them. The sound should be identical to the original keyboard before modifying. I have seen keyboards like this and unless you come from that button key accordion background this would not be useful.

I used to own a Tyros 5 for 3-4 years and I could never make it sound like this chromatic keyboard.
