TYROS 3 LAUNCH NIGHT

Date: 8th October 2008

Venue: East Sussex National Golf Club, Little Horsted

8th October was the night of the official Bonners Tyros 3 Launch Night and what a success!
Held in the stunning venue of the East Sussex National Golf Club, 180 people joined us to watch Peter Baartmans and the Yamaha team introduce the not yet released Yamaha Tyros 3 keyboard.
A drinks reception gave everyone an opportunity to get a close up look of the instrument before the main event began, and the promise of an inspiring evening was set!
Once Peter Baartmans took to the stage, the audience and indeed Bonners staff were taken on a 45 minute journey around the Tyros 3’s new features including a selection from the 540 new sounds and 50 new styles, super articulation 2, and TFT high definition screen.
A short interval gave way to a brief demonstration by Bonners’ Rod Pooley. Click on the link to see a short clip of his performance.

The second half of the demonstration was a masterclass in how to use the Tyros 3 to its full potential, and quite frankly blew everyone away! We were treated to among others “The Typewriter Song” making use of the new hard disk recorder, “Stranger on the Shore” showing off the new Super Articulation 2 clarinet sound and a grand finale of the most spectacular “Pirates of the Carribean” theme tune!
The public are, as they say, the harshest critics, but there were no harsh words to be heard from the audience of this evening. Everyone was very impressed by the keyboard and indeed the evening as a whole, meaning that the event was nothing short of a Bonners success!
Many thanks to Peter and the whole Yamaha team for joining us in introducing the Tyros 3 to Sussex Coast.
