My S970 is in the hospital - I need a virtual hug!

[Toril S]

Yes And I still have warranty, so if it acts up when I get it, it goes right back to the hospital!

[vbdx66]

These are encouraging news Toril 

I hope you'll get your faithful PSR S970 back home any time soon... right in time to rehearse some Christmas tunes 

Regards,

Vinciane

[Toril S]

So do I, Vinciane!
Next week it will be 3 mouths without my S970.
I looked at and tried the S975 yesterday. In my opinion it is almost identical to my S970, so I didn't loose any sleep over that.
For my music the S970 is more than sufficient for many years to come, provided that I finally gat it back in good working order!
In the meantime I am making a "gig disk" with Christmas songs for my PSR 2100

[Toril S]

Today is the Three Months Mark! Tick tock, tick tock! No S970. Waiting for parts, they say. From Mars? Or from the Andromeda galaxy? I need a new hobby.....

[Ernie]

3 months ... way to long 

Ernie

[Toril S]

Yes, Ernie.
I listened to some of your music today to get in a good mood I like your november composition a lot!

Toril, buy a sailboat - you won't have time for the keyboard.

Gary

[Toril S]

I will do that Gary😀. I will sail away from all my troubles😀

[Jean-Pierre 33]

Hello Toril,

When your keyboard is returned I will immediately have reservations about the conformity of its operation with copy to Yamaha.

Then I will ask for an extension of its warranty period at least equal to the duration of its repair.

Best regards

Jean-Pierre 33

[Toril S]

Thanks Jean-Pierre!

Ciao Toril...
news for your psr? I did not thinked that in countries like yours there could be possible this, I have no words ...
I renew my a virtual hug 

[Toril S]

Thank you😀 No I am still waiting for it!

[SeaGtGruff]

You are being very patient about it, which is good. I know it helps that you still have another keyboard you can play, but here's hoping you'll get your PSR-S970 back in time for Christmas!

[Toril S]

I hope so, Michael They have now got the right parts, and say that "it is undergoing rehabilitation!" I have a gig on monday, and have to use my trysty old 2100! So my floppy disks are packed whit Christmas styles It definitely helps to have another keyboard! I am not a very patient person, but there is nothing I can do but wait....

[EileenL]

Did you get your keyboard back Toril and if so I hope it is now as new.

[Toril S]

No, Eileen! I was at the store today, and they called the repair shop. It is still sitting there, and the guy who is working on it was not there, so I am no wiser! But they had gotten in a used T5/76. They wanted the same price as for an S975. It looked great, but there was no stand. I have asked the forum for advice. Have to sleep on it. I loved the tilted screen, but it is a very BIG machine!! Thanks for asking  dear Eileen

[EileenL]

So sorry you still have not got your 970 back yet. Should only take half an hour at least to fit a new case.
Tyros 5 76 note is a lovely keyboard but very heavy compared to 970. The key bed is much nicer though.

[Toril S]

Thanks, Eileen I was wrong, it is a 61 keys model, and in pristine condition, so I broke down and bought the T5 today!
I intend to keep my S970 also, it is convenient to have a lighter keyboard that easily can be moved around. Got the T5 for half the price of the Genos. Genos is not an option for me because of my very low vision.
I LOVE the T5!!!

[arvacon]

That was a big patient's explosion right there.  That is what is happening, when you keep patient for so long.  Congratulations for your new toy! Share with us some pictures if you make it to take your fingers from its keys today.

[mcbrown]

Congratulations Toril on your new Tyros 5. The T5 will open a whole new world of music for you and bring you many hours of enjoyment.

Murray

[Toril S]

Thanks, Arvacon and Murray
I am in the act of setting it up now!
Since it is on the big side, I had to think long and hard where to place it!
I really did not have the space, but what the heck. I can still sit in my sofa and slepp in my bed without hitting the keys, so than all is well

[hans1966]

Hello Toril, Congratulations for your new baby. T5, it will give you many hours of play, enjoy to the maximum but remember to rest a little.   Greetings. Hans

[Toril S]

Thanks Hans. It is hard to leave the keyboard!

[Flip]

I look forward to new and unique arrangements once you get the new KB under control.....have fun.....explore.....ask the expert: Eileen for tips.  I am happy for you.  My best to you Toril.  Your friend, Flip 

[Toril S]

Flip, my friend, thanks😀🌲

[Stratcat]

Hi Toril
Have you any new news on your broken keyboard?
Hoping you'll be getting it back good as new
Jim

[vbdx66]

Hi Toril,

Congratulations on your T5. 

I notice that you know have a PSR S975 in your gear list. Did eventually the music shop replace your broken S970? I am curious.

Regards,

Vinciane

[Toril S]

Yes they did!! It has been so good to have the support of my friends here on the forum! Only keyboard enthusiasts know how you feel when your almost new keyboard is broken!

[arvacon]

So did they finally replaced your broken one with the 975?
Why did they do that and why not giving you back the old one that they were saying stories about repairing it and wait for parts and all these stupid excuses for so much time?
Why they could not just do this from the beginning?
They are unexeptable.. At least finally you have got what you deserve.
