I ran across this forum from The Piano World, I think. I do the majority of my recording using a Roland RD-500, Roland SC88 Sound Canvas, Layla Card and Sonar 7 and Band-In-A-Box. I have various other keyboards and modules and all sorts of little goodies collected over the last 45+ years. I don't play professionally any longer except on rare occassions. Retired and loving it.

What we (my wife and I, she is a great vocalist) are doing is playing for nursing/retirement homes for free. It is our gift to others for having had such a blessed and happy life all from God above.

I am currently considering the Yamaha Tyros 3. I'm trying to keep from taking so much gear to a job, having to sequence everything, worry about file compatibility, etc. etc. The Tyros 3 seems to be a one stop shop. Played it and had it demonstrated yesterday and it is quite a keyboard. I've never been much for auto accompanment keyboards but the end results are quite amazing. I'd love any information from others who are using the Tyros 2 or 3 and get their reactions and comments.
