Greetings Mark,
Yesterday, I took a short tour on that Yamaha keyboard on YouTube and found
some popular songs in this synth: "Amor, amor, amor", popularized by Julio
Eglisias in the 1980s, Abba's "Dancing Queen" in G (the original is in A) and
Anya's "Only Time". Are those three popular songs part of the existing demo
songs in this electronic keyboard?
With a 76-key keyboard, a classical pianist could easily perform anything from
the Baroque to the early Romantic period (until the death of Beethoven or
Schubert). As a 76-key keyboard usually ranges from the E, the lowest note of
the bass guitar and the contrabass (second E below the bass cleff) to the third
G above treble cleff (three octaves above the clef's reference note), I guess
that Franz Liszt's Liebenstraum 3 would be possible for the classical 76ers.
Hahaha! I say so, for Liszt has that one high G in this liebenstraum, although
the cadenzas used the top from most of Chopin's music (up to the F below this
before restating the main theme in A flat, and up to the F flat in an E flat
Phrygian dominant cadenza before the main theme modulates to C flat).
I myself had a 76-key keyboard, the Yamaha PSR-GX76, of which I got rid. As it
names indicates, it has 76 keys: from the low E of the bass guitar to the last
G of the piano. If so, I am wondering if Chopin used it, according to you, in
some of his last compositions, knowing that the piano for which he composed had
six octaves and a half, maybe more (from C1 to F or G7). The barcarolle uses an
F sharp, located at a triton away from today's top C. Karl Czerny used
sometimes that top note of a 76-key keyboard.
Finally, I think that Than should switch to an 88-key electronic keyboard to
perform anything: classical, jazz, and pop, lol.
Thank you for understanding.
Adel

Sorry, the Tyros3 is a 76 keyboard not 88.

Good afternoon Than,
If your keyboard, Yamaha's Tyros3 is a full-sized keyboard (88 keys, like
on a traditional piano), you would be fine to perform anything on stage:
classical, jazz, and pop.
Thank you in advance for your reply, looking to hear from you and help you
more.
Cordially,
Adel

In answer to DJX's questions.
Budget: The Roland VR-09 is about a grand, I'd like to not go too much
higher if I don't have to.
Number of keys: 61 or more
Action: Unweighted would be my first choice
Speakers: Not needed, I have all the amp & headphone resources I need.
Brand: I'm not married to a single brand, but I definitely want samples
that sound as natural as possible. One of the reasons I like the Roland
is because their engines are usually top notch, but I am open to other
choices.
Application: I envision using this both as a solo performer building
songs with loops, layers and splits, but also playing as a member of a
band.
Thanks,
JIm
