So the XS 6 and XS 7 use the Tyros 2 (or similar) upgraded synth action—this much was already known.

Re: New keybed actions
Even so, I think a formal statement from Yamaha is best, as a few products from last year or the year before had a few minor tweaks in the published specs at yamahasynth.com after the initial product postings went up (I don’t remember the specific examples, sorry).

Re: New keybed actions
The XS is a balanced hammer action which is exactly the same as the ES8. This is the same action as the graded hammer action , but with the differences in weight between the top and bottom keys.

Re: New keybed actions I’m glad the XS8 went with the BH action. To me its the best compromise between a good piano feel and versatility for playing non piano instruments. |
