Title: Tyros 4 or 5
Post by: Newtotyros on September 19, 2021, 08:29:10 AM
Morning all

I am looking for some advice if I may. Currently torn between purchasing a Tyros 4 anniversary addition or paying £500 more for tyros 5 76 addition the latter coming with 2 year warranty.

I used to play the electric organ many years ago as a young girl but I have lost my confidence somewhat and really want to get back into playing.

Thank you
Sarah

Sarah. I had the T5 76 and it's worth you paying the extra price.
(You know it makes sence !!!)
Recently part-exchanged mine for a DGX670 otherwise I would not have sold it.

Sarah,

There is no comparison between the T4 and T5. The T5 is worth the extra money.

Go for the T5. Absolutely the best, and you can buy the 76 keys version if you like.

Hello Sarah,
  Of course the choice must be yours but I would go for the latter model. The operating system will be the same on both but the five will have a few additions such as ensemble which the Four dose not have.

Plus you can add custom samples to a T5 with a memory expansion card (you can't on a T4 anymore)

I live in the Central Florida area, and I just wanted to let people know that someone in Clearwater, FL has a Tyros 5/76 with speakers posted for $2995 on Craigslist.  It's on the Orlando, FL Craigslist board.  I'm not that familiar with Tyros prices, but that seems pretty good, to me.

Just to be clear, I have absolutely no affiliation with this posting and I have no idea of the condition of this keyboard or the legitimacy of this ad.  Clearwater is about 100 miles from me.  I just happen to notice this as I regularly search for Yamaha keyboards on my local Craigslist, and I figured someone might be interested in it.

That's a lot more than ours ; we're selling a used T5-76 with 512FL ram expansion and speakers for $2699 Canadian (approx $2160 USD)
We also have a used T5-61 with 512FL ram for $100 less, and a used T4 with 512FL ram (Balkan & Turkey preinstalled. Also had another T4 with the organ, choir, some other packs installed) for $1999 Cdn.

Alas, shipping...
