Members honeyiscool Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I picked up guitar because 15 years of classical piano hadn't made me feel creative. Within a few months of playing guitar, I started writing songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members honeyiscool Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 There's that new Casio synth that got a pretty great review in the lastest Electronic Musician. $600 and it can run on batteries. I have a Casio WK6500 that was $299 new, very light, 76 keys, and can run on batteries. It sounds all right. I mean, it's not as good as my M50, but I wouldn't cry if it was destroyed.

Members kurdy Posted July 6, 2011 Members Share Posted July 6, 2011 There's that new Casio synth that got a pretty great review in the lastest Electronic Musician. $600 and it can run on batteries. You know, my main keyboard is a Casio--88 weighted keys, and I remember paying somewhere in the $600-700 range for it. No batteries, though. And the reason I got it was because I was playing in a band back in '07, and my band mates were sort of nudging me to invest in something better than my $300 Yamaha from Best Buy (this one did run on batteries:)). I managed to hold-off as long as I could, until my keyboard started leaking during a gig. I don't know what it the liquid in question was, but it burned. So yeah, I sort of had to give in after that. It was kind of a shame too--that little hunk o' plastic actually sounded pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted July 6, 2011 Members Share Posted July 6, 2011 Burned like in, caught fire -- or burned like in ate big holes through my skin? I'm trying to think of what fluids might be in a cheap keyboard. Could it have had something to do with keyboard damping? That seems unlikely. For a few reasons. No big transformers, I shouldn't think, to drip highly toxic, carcinogenic PCBs. Let's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RhythmStrummer1 Posted July 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks Nick. I'm not sure how this thread got hijacked and turned into a keyboard thread, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
