Casio LK94TV 61-Lighted Key Keyboard with TV Output Review

Casio LK94TV 61-Lighted Key Keyboard with TV Output
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you've ever wanted to learn to play a keyboard, this is the unit to buy. I have wanted one for 10 years and finally decided to get one and I don't regret it a bit.
This instrument is excellent for the beginner as well as the advanced player. It has so many features, it would be hard to list them all. Even if you don't want to play it yourself, you can have it play any of the 100 self contained songs by itself! And if you want to learn, the lighted keys and the "voice" help will get you playing in no time. I had it only a few hours and I was playing several songs. Not bad for a beginner, huh?
This keyboard is larger than normal. Playing it from a table top or coffee table will kill your back. Spend a few extra dollars and get the stand. You back will thank you. You'll find that you'll spend endless hours playing with it. If you don't want to disturb others, you may also want to get a set of head phones. A word of caution. The plug is 1/4", not the normal 3mm you have for CD players. You can get an adapter at Radio Shack.
So take the plunge. Oh, by the way, this is not only for the kids. You'll enjoy it just as much. I'm 56 years young!

Piano Accordion 17 Keys Blue Review

Piano Accordion 17 Keys Blue
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To begin, I was given a $20 Schylling children's accordion by a friend and it sounds truly amazing, like I'm in Venice going through the streets. The only problem was that a few notes were seriously screwed up. So I thought, "Great, I'll buy a new one and it'll have keys instead of buttons." I figured you couldn't screw up an accordion and I ordered this one.
The word wrong is not strong enough, the accordion was sent in a very used and beaten up box, with "BL" written in marker on one side. There is a Chinese girl on the box playing the accordion as happily as a child can play accordion with a gun pointed at them. The brand is not D' Luca, but is "Accordion" and as you know, "UC 104 accordion make by specially design and is a new produce for children." You also can't forget, "These instrument is an ideal toy for children". The instruction booklet, or rather the "OPERATION INETRUCTIONS", is a piece of comic genius, for instance: "HOW TO HOLD THE ACCRDION - Put the leather strap on shoulder when playing. The right-hand are employed in manipulating the keys.pushing and pulling are effected by the left wrist during performance and the palm is engaged in supporting the bottom of the instrument In the course of pushing and pulling." Another favorite is, "Press the key with the first and second finger of the right hand, and the two notes 1 and 2 (dol and re) will be produced by successive pushing and pulling bellows in the same manner press all the key exrecise repeat." And everyone knows, "Any kind of finger methed must quick in action than accompaniment are success."
Now to the sound, imagine, if you will, a bus' brakes scraping mixed with the Chinese girl on the box singing and that would be close to the sound. When you push and pull there are supposed to be 2 different notes that get played, not on this accordion - they are basically identical. Usually with an instrument if you play two or three notes together it creates a rich and resounding chord, this accordion sounds like two or three busses are trying to stop before they hit the Chinese girl. The bass buttons are set up to where you generally have to hit two at a time (the instructions say you're supposed to hit 2), this adds depth, but very much so overwhelms the other notes. I was also under the impression that I had ordered the blue accordion with the holographic fish scale stuff on it, but instead got the basic blue (very much so could've been my fault). I just sent an e-mail to the senders requesting a full refund, I hope that goes well, I'll update this review if it's a hassle to return.
All in All - Only buy this product for your child if you hate them and yourself.
I'd rather leave on a high note, so here you go, "The advantage of the Midget 8 Bass isnew-style that it is easy to play for children. Which key and bassare select specific, read, accurate accent, fine timbre, sonosousvolume. It' s bass with pull and push produce different scale arrangement. Io learn the use of fingers methed able to lay a good fundation from now on also for play large one." I certainly feel as if I was purposely screwed over, but my fundation is tremoring with laughter.

Hohner S32R - Red Student Melodica
Average Reviews:

This instrument is fantastic! I've wanted a melodica for a very, very long time and finally decided to purchase this one (after hours and hours of research) the other day. A lot of reviews said to go with Hohner and boy were they right! This does not disappoint! It's super easy to use and fun to play, but doesn't sound like a cheap toy. I've never played an instrument with keys before (strictly strings) and the ease with which I picked this up was incredible. There are no batteries and there's nothing to tune. It's probably the best purchase I've made in a long time.

The Melodica is a fascinating wind instrument, easy to learn and powerfully expressive! Played like a piano, it is so compact that you can take it with you anywhere. Producing single notes or chords, the Melodica is both a solo and orchestral instrument blending beautifully with other instruments. Whatever the music you like - from classical to rock - the Melodica will add its own personality, a unique and captivating sound!

Linus and Lucy - Piano Sheet Music Review

The product was priced about what I expected, close to $4.00, the shipping was more than the product at under $5.00. But I'll spend that much on a lunch out sometimes. My son had been waiting since November for me to get this for him (I promised). When I got it and saw it was NOT folded to fit in a smaller envelope (I was concerned about that) and it looked exactly like one of the two ways I've seen single-song sheet music: Cardstock exterior with loose pages inside, and shipped flat; I was pleased. I've seen accordian folded cardstock sheet music for piano and I would have prefered that, but this was good.

This International Edition of Suzuki Piano School, Volume 2 includes French, German and Spanish translations, new Romantic and 20th-century pieces, as well as a recorded CD performed by internationally renowned recording artist Seizo Azuma. Now the book and CD can be purchased together right here for additional savings. The contents have changed slightly with minimal reordering of the music. The Mozart Minuet and Bach Musette from the earlier edition were eliminated and replaced with two new 20th-century pieces by Bartok (noted below), and the Bach "Minuet in G Minor" (from J. S. Bach's Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach) has been moved to Volume 3. Other improvements include a cleaner appearance with less editing and spacious new engravings, as well as more detailed titles that include the keys, sources, composer dates, and catalog numbers. Titles: Ecossaise (J. N. Hummel) * A Short Story (H. Lichner) * The Happy Farmer, from Album for the Young, Op. 68, No. 10 (R. Schumann) * Minuet in G Major, BWV 822 (J. S.

Casio SA-76 44 Key Mini Keyboard, Orange Review

Casio SA-76 44 Key Mini Keyboard, Orange
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This keyboard fits into my slightly larger backpack. Its portability allows me to carry it around and work out melodic and harmonic ideas for the songs I write when I'm away from home. The eight-note polyphony is really helpful for chording.
A problematic issue exists with the Casio SA-75 power adaptor that is advertised as an optional accessory on the Amazon page that features the keyboard. The adaptor isn't compatible because the jack-end doesn't fit into the 9.5 volt terminal on the back of the keyboard. The manual claims the six batteries required to operate the keyboard will last for about six hours, though.
I contacted the seller of the SA-75 adaptor and they told me that the correct adaptor for the SA-76 keyboard won't be available until December 2010.
The tones are clear and reasonably distinctive, perhaps slightly less so in the brass. The rhythm patterns cover all the basics, and there's more than enough volume control to play with. All in all, after two weeks of using it, I would say that this is a cool little keyboard!
