Blue Man Group Keyboard Review

I own 3 of these keyboards and they are the greatest electronic musical instruments I have ever come across. There are preprogrammed tunes to play with. You just wave your hands over the tubes and different instruments chime in. You can also control the tempo and volume by waving your hands over the tubes...almost like an orchestra conductor. There's a hookup for your ipod or mp3 player that you can play the music through this instrument and the speakers are great. You can use the keyboard to play tunes that you know and change the instruments from piano to trumpet,drum, organ, guitar, tuba,etc.WooHoo! I love them and so do my grandkids.

Edirol PCR-M30 32 key USB MIDI Keyboard Controller Review

The only downside to this is that it is not one of the controllers supported by Ableton out of the box, and it didn't include up to date mappings for Ableton.But with its tools, this is easy enough to create.Mechanically this is a well built controller and the key action is first class.

Classic Rock - Keyboard Recorded Versions [Paperback] Review

This book is somewhat similar to Hal Leonard's other classic rock keyboard transcription book, but features a few songs not found in the other one. Although the other reviewer for some reason seemed disappointed by finding all the keyboard parts written out, that is actually the beauty of this book. It's not another PVG book full of cheesy piano arrangements. It's the real keyboard parts, and all of them. Guitarists have been enjoying accurate rock transcriptions for years now, so it's great to see the same kind of material being made available for keyboard. Keep 'em coming!

Quik-Lok BX-14 Padded Keyboard Bench Review

It's really hard to tell the quality and size of the benches seen online from a simple picture and the numbers quoted (occasionally)in profiles.That being said, this is the second bench I've bought online, the first being proportioned for Golem from LOTR.

This bench is a high quality product.It has a very thick pad for comfort and has an adjustable range set for an averaged sized person which provides for proper posture when playing a standard sized keyboard or piano.Other products may be a little cheaper...but they're also undersized to save on material costs....and they make you play the piano in a very uncomfortable position.Spend a little extra and buy a bench like this, so you'll enjoy your time playing!

Casio WK-3800AD 76-Key Electronic Keyboard with Power Supply Review

The Casio WK3800 is a fun and very versatile keyboard with good quality onboard speakers.My previous keyboard, which I still have, is an older Yamaha PSR series.The WK3800 gives you a good deal of control and "fine tuning" for each of the preset digital voices/tones (e.g., attack/release, touch response, reverb, vibratto, resonance, octave, pan, equalizer, and other effects, which can be saved as new user tones ... and then mixed(using layer and split) onto the keyboard and saved as an entry in the register. You can monitor/record on several separate tracks of and, later, put them all together for a rich composition playback. The only downside with recording to the separate tracks is that you lose the layer/split functions during recording (a small hassle that I hope the next series of Casio keyboards will rectify). If you would like to have a layered and split recording (four tone settings used), you have to record each of the four tones separately (i.e., record yourself playing your song four times). This limitation of the record function is the only reason I did not give the Casio WK3800 4 stars out of 5, instead of a perfect 5.
