Baggypants Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Someone I know brought up Duo Splicing Portable Piano which looks like an April Fool but they've spent money on it. Has anyone else had a go with is mad keyboard of the future? They have a picture of the piano with a small kitchen weight on one of the keys so it must be legit right?

SamuelBLupowitz Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Interesting. That's sort of the modular approach that Roli's Blocks line have tried to implement, though they can't quite seem to nail down who their demographic is (is it bedroom producers? People who don't know how to play the piano but want to learn to express themselves? Gigging musicians? I mean, right now it's defintiely not gigging musicians, even though the early adopters of the Grand seemed to be people like Cory Henry). Anyway, this is the first I'm seeing this; seems like a really cool idea, if the implementation is smooth and the action is acceptable for practicing the kind of rep that 88 keys lends itself to.

Threadslayer Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I wonder how noticeable that gap is between the e and the f when you're playing it?

skipeb3 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Years ago... maybe 25 or 30 - Suzuki made an 88 note keyboard that split in two. Never played one... saw it at NAMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricBarker Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I'm really interested in this. A year ago I would have nabbed it up, as I end up flying quite a bit and playing gigs. Now with Covid, none of that is happening. At first I was worried that, even folded in half it's 27" which is too large for carryon. But then I remembered that I flew two different international trips with my Seaboard Rise49, which is like 30in, and carried it on no problem. Electric and travel guitars are kosher on flights at 38in long. So yeah, this thing is checkin flyable! It's going to be a while before I'm doing those kinds of trips again, but when I do, I'll sell my Casiotone and grab one of these. PS: Of course it's crap, it's a travel board. But it looks playable unlike those rollup soft boards. It's got MIDI too, so sound quality isn't really a big deal. Quote Puck Funk!

re Pete Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Wonder if Casio could put a hinge or split this somehow. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/keyboards-midi/casio-cdp-s100-compact-digital-piano/l47034000001000?cntry=us&source=3WWRWXGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
