What about the Yamaha Tyros 2 one? I believe that's a hell of a keyboard.
I don't have it.
I only have a stupid Roland E-38, from 1995. It quite sucks.

Well, even though I seem to be a big fan of the DX, I believe that was pretty much the LAST decent Yamaha keyboard. Couldn't stand the Motif. But I stopped buying keyboard "workstations" a while ago, and mainly went for the sound engine.
The Tyros is just Yamaha's answer to Roland's Fantom. But the Korg Oasys seems to be the role-model for all these types... If you have seven grand to blow.
The best sounds in keyboards right now?
Electric Piano / Wurlizter..............Nord Electro 2
Acoustic Piano..........................Roland XV-88
Synths...........................toss up: Nord Lead/Wave or Access Virus
B-3...........................................Nord Electro 2 or Hammond XK-3
My opinion.
FYI, The Roland E-38 is one of the "Arranger" keyboard series that Roland put out to attack the Casio market. Very similar to Bradley's CTK series. It is in no way to be confused with the quality and pro features that the XP, XV, JV, and Fantom offer, and you would "feel" the difference within seconds, Rick. And if you bought the Tyros? You would probably need smelling salts for the first few days.

This is a nice place to hear what all those piano synths sound like - http://www.playivorys.com/modules.php?name=Piano_compare

I'm definitely not an expert. But my Roland is just too basic, in many ways. I'm thinking of buying a new one. The piano sound (which I use a lot) is just too thin and fake...
Thanks for your info! Really appreciated.

Roland keyboards where good until the G-70,After that they became shit.
Listen to the tyros-2 or the Korg pa2xpro these machines are awesome.
Synthesizers:
Roland fantom=shit
Korg triton/oasys=awesome.
Yamaha motif=awesome.
Sorry guys i cant help it i hate roland.

No prob, Rick. I just didn't want you to think that that was a true test of Roland. Apparantly ol' Bradley doesn't like 'em... but OBVIOUSLY he hasn't played the Fantom. To call it Shit and the Motif Awesome should pretty much sum that up.
And Bradley, if Roland is so "shit" find me another keyboard UNDER $3000 to offer a 128MB dedicated piano patch? I "passed" on the new Nord Stage because it's acoustic pianos (which are reviewed as some of the best) sounded thin, including their new Steinway D patch.

I played the fantom the x8 and the x6 but i played them for about 10 minutes the piano is awesome(the same as in the G-70)
but i think that the korgs for the pricerange are a bit better.
