Looking for a possible teacher / coach tyros 4 or its replacement

Chris from Germany was one of the genius guys who knew Tyros’s
The PSR forum appears to be gone
With no archives

I’m looking for a coach to help me. Me a professional musician with the Tyros’s. Or failing that. Possibly a new yamaha that replicates tyros but not Genos which is too expensive

Two questions in there
Thanks

Welcome.

The Tyros were made extinct when the Genos was released.

New Yamaha SX920 or 720 are the cheaper models.

I know someone who used to work with a highly paid full size band out of nyc. They work there presently. But she left the band .
They do mashups and tracks etc
The keyboardist is very well paid for his skills. $600 -800 per club date.
I’ve used a Tyros to play midi tracks to great effect. But I’m behind the times
1. Is a laptop part of an uptodate keyboard rig?
I’m not talking about Katy Perry Level. Just for a high end club date band
2 is the laptop a “turnoff” to audience? I’ve heard this many years ago
3 what model keyboard ( preferably one. ! I know two or three are used -
4 continuing with #3
But I’m thinking a laptop and a single keyboard is sufficient

Thoughts opinions from those with experience with live bands appreciated
Thanks
