Hi Brian,

The MRP is £1450 but most dealers seem to be selling them around the 1300 quid mark ... given it's a Yamaha with T5 technology, that seems to be great value for money .... for once

Mike

Hi Leo, yes it's a great style - in fact, it looks like a super keyboard altogether

Would have been nice to know what the rest of the members think about it ... but alas - it seems it's not of any interest

Wotcha John,

Thank you for keeping us up-todate on Pam's welfare - it doesn't sound like fun at all

Pam, if you're looking in ... I wish you a full and speedy recovery and I hope all goes well on the 24th

All the best,

Mike

Whenever I watch the Yamaha Electone competition videos they always seem to be dominated by youngsters with the very latest technology (ELX or ELS) knocking out perfect performances - So this video that Marco has just posted on Facebook was a welcome surprise - 2004 Organissimo, a guy called Gene Ro...

Karl Denver did a version but not a patch on Ladysmith Black Mambazo in my opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJF87m4_k88 Keith Wotcha Brian, John and Keith, Now to me, there is no comparison whatsoever - it's sorta like a Ford Focus trying to 'stack-up against' a Koenigsegg Agera R ... with ...

Brian Hi, Alan is an awesome keyboardist - his relaxed style of playing three keyboards with that thingy he taps out drum solos on with end result sounding like a big band blows me away every time I listen to him :D He also makes some of the very best backing tracks on the planet - there are quite a...

Wotcha Brian, I have been watching this topic develop over the last week or so and it's been interesting to read the comments posted so I thought I would add my 2 cents worth :wink: I'm with Andy all the way on this one - given the choice it would be an organ over a keyboard everyday! BUT .... it ha...

Hiya Pam,

Sorry to hear that Pam - I hope you make a quick recovery and it's not too painful in the meantime.

Take care Pam,

Mike

Perhaps Tony and Andrew would have been better off with a couple of 'casios' too

Hiya Fred, Firstly, confirm that you are using Google Chrome as your browser (web-ferret as you call it) :wink: To do that, go to the 3 horizontal line logo (see picture in my previous post) and hover over it and it should say 'Customize and control Google Chrome' When you have done that go here - h...

Hiya Fred, If you are adding it from the google extension page there is no installation needed - it will add this little logo to the top right hand corner of your browser. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedepicardiecouk/tiercedepicardiecouk162/2fc0b5d6-48a3-461b-8b95-34537adb02bb_zpsnt2...

Hi Fred,

Okay, before I can help I need to know what browser you are using ... let me know and we can go forward from there

Mike

Hiya Fred, What browser are using? If you are using Chrome or Firefox you can go to their 'extension' pages and get the appropriate browser pop-up blocker - there will be a wide choice so choose one that has the most downloads as this will give you an idea of it's popularity and effectiveness. Chrom...

How does one learn to make the left hand jump from the lower to the upper manual and back again in tempo? John does it with ease even on the EL with a short upper manual. I guess it's just practice .... The absolute master at that technique has to be Richard Hills - to watch him doing with it both ...

Hiya Fred,

Yamaha releases two new portable models. The PSR-E253 is an ideal first keyboard for aspiring musicians who are just starting out. And the PSR-E353 with great sound and versatile performance functions. A portable keyboard for musicians of all levels. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedep...

Not that exciting I'm afraid, looks like the Pa300/600 with 88 note piano keyboard.

Wowzers ... these styles are 'alive' not at all robotic like the Yammies

Hmmmmmm ... the attempt by Tony Stace and Andrew Nix at trying to follow Jean Martyn's success with the organ on 'Britains Got Talent' failed big time tonight .... four X's in less than 15 seconds! The electronic organ already suffers a 'lack of esteem' where the general public are concerned - so th...

Many Happy Returns Roy, have a good one and be safe

All the best,

Wotcha guys, Well, this has turned out to be a most interesting and educational topic :D :D So I thought combining a little bit of Sibelius with a more modern approach may go down well at this point :wink: The Nice (Keith Emerson) - Karelia Suite 1969 using Hammond L100 with Leslie cabinets.

Hiya Tony,

Hmmmm - I hope they are able to find a new home for the entire collection - it would be a disaster to see them returned to a pile of bits in a shed somewhere.

Thanks for posting this

Mike
