burningbusch Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Technically it's 53 keys. Why can't Yamaha do this???????? Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyJimJim Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I don't geddit: why would anyone who wants weighted keys (ie presumably a pianist) be satisfied with 49/53 notes? I can see how they would get by with 76 or 73 maybe but... that really beats me! Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrdman Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Originally posted by burningbusch: Technically it's 53 keys. Why can't Yamaha do this???????? Busch.They should split it down the middle and have "smart transpose" - the board moves so its always under your fingers (half for either hand) and transposes based on its position. Then you could get by with about 50 keys. Third movement of Beethoven Op 57 (with the crossed hand bits) could be interesting to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually a P80.

konaboy Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 THink of it as a 19" piano sound module (which so many of you have been asking for). The keys are included as a bonus for auditioning sounds. Then the concept starts to makes sense. hang out with me at woody piano shack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
