I’ve always been an avid fan of music of all sorts. Mostly I’ve just listened to and played music as a part time DJ at weddings, parties and festivals. However it’s not all that surprising after being around it so long, the bug to actually perform it would bite me.
I recently purchased a Yamaha P65MSB 88Key Keyboard. I did a good deal of research before deciding on this particular model. I didn’t want to get a really cheap keyboard that I would grow tired of after a few months. Yet I didn’t really need something of a professional level either. I think I got the best of both worlds with this particular model.
It came with a stand and a bench which was nice to have it all arrive ready to set up and use. Assembly was a breeze and 20 minutes from it’s arrival, it was set up and I was practicing my skills on the nifty weighted graded hammer action keys that make this model unique.
Most keyboards have more of a soft touch when you play
the keys. This one was more like playing an actual piano because of the special attention they paid to the design of the keys. I had tried out several other models and brands of keyboards in the months prior to this purchase and they all had that portable keyboard sound to them. This one is about as close as you’re going to come to feeling and sounding like you’re playing a Baby Grand.
There is a quick start DVD that I actually didn’t watch until I’d owned it for two weeks. I guess you could say that I’m one of those people that prefers to just jump in without reading the instructions or owner’s manual. Once I did decide to watch it though, it really was rather helpful and showed me some things that I could do with this keyboard that I hadn’t yet discovered on my own.
You can set this keyboard to play accompaniment music while you play and the choice of instrument voices and the quality of the sound of them are just amazing. It’s almost impossible to sound ...
